Tomato tarte Tatin is one of the most amazing recipes there ever was if you’re a tomato lover that is. I went for lunch at a famous country restaurant nearby. It was a tappa styled entreé spread that had different plats that you could choose from. One of the tappa styled plates was the tomato tarte Tatin. One bite and I was soled. It was absolute heaven.

I used the very same pie dough that I made the cherry plum galettes with and it worked so very well with tomatoes too. Spelt flour is just such an amazing gluten-free flour that I would recommend above them all. I really want to make vegan puff pastry and that is going to be a task on its own, so when I get the recipe down for that I’m definitely making this recipe with puff pastry.

I never thought that I love tomatoes so much up until we moved to France and all the farmer’s markets sold these juice heirloom tomatoes. I am more of a petit tomatoes fan than big juicy tomatoes. They have more taste and sweetness to them. The juice big tomatoes are great as tomato farci or used when making a bolognaise. Coeur de boeuf they are called, but you get different varieties and not even the guys that grew them at the market could explain his cross combination tomatoes.

I guess that is one thing I learned from my mother, she always says she can never eat lunch or dinner without tomatoes and you know what, it certainly is true for me too. This recipe is fresh, light and so perfect for a summer lunch idea or a light dinner. I am in love with balsamic also by the way, if you haven’t realized it yet and obviously the balsamic is such a good combination with this recipe. Fresh basil and roasted pine nuts give that something-something to this recipe.

It is seriously so so easy to make. I just love this recipe and made it even twice in a row, after my husband got a bit over tomato tart for a while. But I will never say no because it is just that good. One bite and you’ll see me doing my happy dance.
