How to make Candied Tomato Tart
Preparation of Masa (Dough)
- Step 1
Roast the red bell pepper in a very hot oven until it is tender and the skin can be easily peeled off. Let it cool, then remove the skin and seeds. Process the pulp until smooth.
- Step 2
In a food processor, combine the flour, salt, egg, bell pepper pulp, and butter until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Step 3
Roll out the dough with a rolling pin on a floured surface to a thickness of 4 mm. Line a tart pan with the dough. Cover the dough with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the tart, let it cool slightly, and discard the parchment paper.
Preparation of Relleno (Filling)
- Step 1
In a bowl, mix the milk, eggs, grated mozzarella, and chopped basil.
- Step 2
Cover the tart base with the chopped black olives, then pour the egg mixture over it. Top with the confit tomatoes.
