Even people who say they don't like tomatoes might just fall in love with this pie. Of course, using tomatoes from a local farmer's market or from your backyard, will do this pie the most justice. Flavor is always the key ingredient and sometimes the tomatoes at your local grocery store lack just that…..flavor. Generally, they are shipped green and ripen on the trip to the store. Tomatoes left to ripen naturally, of course will taste the best.
Whatever tomatoes you use, I'm sure you're going to fall in love with this pie. It's surprisingly different and sure to make a tomato lover fall in love with it. Above all, this recipe is so easy to make. If you're looking for a less fat recipe, substitute ingredients with low fat ones. Personally, I like this one, fat and all.
