I followed Mean Chefs words and didn't bother making it into a circle. Wonderful flavor- I cut way back on the pesto because I used "real" tomatoes and I didn't want to mask their flavor. Next time I might take out more of the liquid to keep the tart from getting soggy. This tart was enjoyed by all :)

I grew up in California and now live in Seattle Washington,and I really love it here! I've been cooking since I was about 10 and still enjoy cooking till this day. I don't really have a favorite food as I enjoy many different dishes. I do really enjoy cooking on a smoker, the taste is out of this world. I also enjoy barbecue, Italian, Mexican and Chinese just to name a few. As you will notice I also enjoy taking pictures of dishes I make, there's nothing like getting that great shot. Thank you for stopping in, I hope you enjoy my site!
