Author Notes
This recipe is combined with a crust coming from a old family generation and converted to a healthier version. My family does not eat raw tomatoes, but love eating them roasted. Also a great way to introduce a fun,versatile and delicious new alternative to raw vegetables.The personal love for baking and cooking with fresh, organic and local ingredients helps me serve healthy meals everyday. —chocolatepistachiocheesecake
