Step by step recipe

---

Stage 1 - 50 min.

Peel 4 tomatoes.

Slice fairly thickly. Sprinkle a little salt on both sides and spread them on a grid, if possible for at least an hour.

This is to drain some of the juice out of the tomatoes and to bring out their flavour.

---

Stage 2 - 7 min.

Meanwhile, prepare 3 courgettes and slice.

Pour 3 tablespoons olive oil into a large pan over high heat, and when hot, add the sliced courgettes, thyme leaves, salt and pepper.

Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the courgettes are just cooked but still slightly crunchy.

---

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Pour the contents of the pan through a strainer and leave to drain.

Important: do not throw away the oil which drains off, we will use it later.

---

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Roll out the pastry into a circle and prick all over with a fork or pique-vite (pastry pricker).

If you are not ready to use it immediately (if you are waiting for the tomatoes, for example), put the pastry to wait in the fridge.

---

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).

Spread 70 g tomato paste over the pastry, using a small spoon or brush.

---

Stage 6 - 7 min.

Arrange the first round of the rosette by overlapping a tomato slice with 2 slices of courgette all the way round the outer edge of the pastry.

---

Stage 7 - 7 min.

Arrange an inner circle overlapped in the opposite direction.

Place the top of a tomato in the centre.

---

Stage 8 - 2 min.

Finish with a few pieces of feta.

---

Stage 9 - 40 min.

Cook for 30 to 40 minutes, watching carefully to make sure that the edge of the pastry doesn't burn.

---

Stage 10 - 5 min.

As soon as it comes out of the oven, brush the olive oil kept from cooking the courgettes over the top of the tart to glaze it. This will give it a more appetizing appearance that will impress your guests.

Remarks

This tart can be eaten cold, but it is much better hot or warm.
