There are many fruits and vegetables I eat when not in season, but tomatoes are not one of them. I totally detest those artificial, watery and bland tomatoes and acknowledge only these ripened under hot summer sun, sensationally red, juicy and bursting with real tomato-summer flavor.
Croatian cuisine uses tomato in ways very similar, if not same, to Italian cuisine. People enjoy making tomatoes with parmigiano, basil, mozzarella and balsamic vinegar, and one of the most popular recipes is probably tomato salsa. My friend has a beautiful, simple recipe for this, a sauce made of 4 ingredients, so simple, yet so divine: tomatoes, olive oil, parsley and garlic. Served over home-made gnocchi.

This tomato tart is made with a beautiful dough that I recommend using for other tarts and simple filling starring tomatoes, of course. I’d say it resembles super-simplified pizza. It is one of those simple dishes that make great appetizer, light dinner or summer garden party food.
