TOMATO PIE! OOOOOH, MY!

HAD YOU EVER HEARD OF THIS?

Before about a year or so ago, I had never heard of TOMATO PIE! Sounds to me somebody was pretty hungry and with limited, well, options--like me, yesterday! I mean, who thinks of a pie of only tomatoes, right!

So, Grannie and I are making our rounds on a sunny, brisk Fall Saturday Morning at Eastern Market--fresh air, fresh foods, fresh breads, fresh faces, lots of people, colorful vendors, street music, and so, I see a line at the baker's table and wonder, "Well, what's that all about?" Curious, I ask the Baker Woman, "What's this?" To which she replies, "Tomato Pie!" Then the couple standing next to me chimes in, "Every time we come here, we pick up a couple of these pies! They are delicious!" The Baker Woman chimes in, "And they sell out every time!" "Oh, yeah," I think to myself, because, well, heck, there's only two left--me and, well, I'll be fair, the couple next to me! Oh, I'd better grab it!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVED IT! And from that day on, I knew I would have to make it for me and Grannie some day, only Mariby style, with slow-roasted tomatoes and vegetables (sweet onions, bell peppers, egg plant, zucchini, carrots, kimchi, etc.), fresh herbs (basil, oregano) to deepen the flavors.

To me, essentially, it's like a really good deep dish pizza with pie crust, instead of pizza dough and no meat OR perhaps even a Ratatouille in in a pie! And of course, I always take all steps further by adding a top crust! YUUUUUUUUUUM!
