Sensational Tomato Quiche

 

   1                    9 inch pie crust -- * see note
   2      tablespoons   olive oil
     1/2  cup           chopped onions
     1/2  cup           green bell peppers -- chopped
   1                    garlic clove -- minced
   2      pounds        tomatoes
     1/2  teaspoon      basil
     1/2  teaspoon      oregano
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
   3      tablespoons   tomato paste
   3      tablespoons   fresh parsley -- chopped
     1/8  teaspoon      black pepper

  12                    black olives -- sliced
     1/3  cup           grated Parmesan cheese
   8                    anchovies -- optional

* Pie crust should be partially baked. Use same oven temperature as for
cooking quiche, 350 degrees, and time it so crust will bake about 4-7
minutes and let cool only about 5 minutes before filling with mixture to continue baking.
** You will need 1 egg and 3 egg yolks for this recipe.

     1. Saute onions, green pepper and garlic in 2 tablespoons oil in a
heavy skillet.
     2. Add tomatoes that have been peeled, chopped and seeded. Add the
basil, oregano, salt, green pepper and parsley. Cover and cook over low
heat for 5 minutes.
     3. Remove cover and raise heat so liquid evaporates. Do not let
mixture scorch. Remove from heat.
     4. Put 1 egg and 3 egg yolks along with tomato paste into a bowl and mix well. Combine with tomato mixture then pour into pie crust.
     5. Top with olives, grated cheese and anchovies if you are using
them.
     6. Bake about 30 minutes or until firm and golden brown.
