Fresh tomato tart from scratch, Caldo Verde soup; Carrot and pumpkin soup; Butternut and mushroom with sage sauce for Gnocchi, PHOTOS and How to...

When using fresh tomatoes in winter months, always saute in a little oil, this makes them sweeter and releases their skins, the oil can then be used in any sauce or soup recipe

The cooked tomatoes allowed to rest, will be skinned and have herbs added, do not add any salt as this draws out their juices.

Here is a short crust pie base,(recipe in Trim Your Waste http://www. amazon.com/kindle) bake for 15 mins on 400f, allow to cool then sprinkle with shredded cheese.

Top the cheese with the cooked tomatoes and add some fresh herbs of choice I added basil leaves

Top the tomatoes with more cheese and any juices from the tomatoes

Bake in a 350f oven for 30-40 mins until golden on top

Allow to cool for 20 mins then drizzle with olive oil and serve at room temp.
