Health and fertility benefits of Cherry Tomato Tart with Basil

Basil is an excellent stress reliever, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Ingredients

1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
salt
7 tbsp. cold unsalted butter
1/2 c. cold heavy cream
2 pt. cherry or grape tomatoes
2 tbsp. shredded basil leaves

Instructions

Butter a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. In a food processor, pulse the flour with a pinch of salt and the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the cream and pulse until the dough nearly comes together. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead a few times. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Roll out the dough to a 14-inch round. Press the round into the tart pan; trim off any excess. Mound the tomatoes in the shell. Bake for about 1 hour and 40 minutes, until the dough is evenly browned. Let cool. Season with salt, garnish with the basil, and serve.
