Cyr] This recipe encompasses what I love most about food: fresh dough and fresh vegetables. Perhaps my own Italian heritage sways my impression of this dish. After all, I cannot resist dough topped with onions, garlic, tomatoes, peppers, and olives. The sweetness from the tender roasted peppers and sautéed onions and garlic subdues the acidic tones in the tomatoes to create a balanced topping that takes first prize. Add a few black olives and the tart has the flavor profile of a Mediterranean dish. I even have to remark on the artistry of the tart's design. The checkerboard appearance of olives dotted between a latticework of julienned peppers would make such a memorable centerpiece for any dinner, or sliced small as an hors d'oeuvre. [Karla M.

I served this to a book club group along with a salad for a light supper. Roasted red peppers made this a hit. I baked it a second time and sprinkled a small amount of goat cheese on before adding the red pepper and it really added some great texture and flavor to it.
