Very often I find that life’s simplest pleasures are also its best ones. This tomato tart is the proof: it’s a very simple recipe, but bursting with bold flavours, thanks to the mustard and herbs. You could call it a Provençale-inspired recipe, with its tomatoes, olive oil, and herbs – it’s a perfect combination which never disappoints.
I love any recipe that can be made really quickly but is still healthy and delicious, and this one hits the mark on all three. I usually serve a slice of this tomato tart alongside a big helping of green salad. For me, it’s the perfect summer dinner – easy to make and served at room-temperature – and I can see myself savouring it at a table under a big parasol.
