Tomato tart with mini meatballs
I prepare tarts quite often.
My favourite one is of course chocolate with raspberry sauce and whipped cream. Yummy…
This chocolate tart belongs to the group of sweet tarts and it is a great dessert. Apart from sweet tarts, however, there are plenty of savory ones.
Among the very popular savory tarts are those with spinach, bacon, mushrooms.
Tarts are extremely practical because they can be served as a main dish, appetizer or a snack. They can also be eaten hot or cold as well.
Today I want to share a recipe for a delicious tart with meatballs.
Tarts are a great alternative for those who got bored with pizza 🙂
