Remarks
The tomatoes depending on of their origin and ripeness could give off a lot of juice, which can be a bit annoying as it makes the pastry soggy. To try to reduce this there are several methods:
- Do not salt before cooking, because it's the salt which brings out the juice. Instead salt salt just after bringing out of the oven.
- Drain off as most of the juice partway through cooking, but it's a slightly delicate operation. For this Francoise uses a large plastic ex-medical syringe.
- Salt the the tomatoes and leave the juice to drain off before using (see above).
Keeping: Several hours in the fridge, covered by a plastic film.
