Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 9 inch pie crust -- * see note
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup green bell peppers -- chopped
1 garlic clove -- minced
2 pounds tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons fresh parsley -- chopped
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 large eggs -- ** see note
12 black olives -- sliced
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
8 anchovies -- optional

* Pie crust should be partially baked. Use same oven temperature as for
cooking quiche, 350 degrees, and time it so crust will bake about 4-7 minutes
and let cool only about 5 minutes before filling with mixture to continue
baking.

** You will need 1 egg and 3 egg yolks for this recipe.

1. Saute onions, green pepper and garlic in 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy
skillet.

2. Add tomatoes that have been peeled, chopped and seeded. Add the basil,
oregano, salt, green pepper and parsley. Cover and cook over low heat for
5 minutes.

3. Remove cover and raise heat so liquid evaporates. Do not let mixture
scorch. Remove from heat.

4. Put 1 egg and 3 egg yolks along with tomato paste into a bowl and mix
well. Combine with tomato mixture then pour into pie crust.

5. Top with olives, grated cheese and anchovies if you are using them.

6. Bake about 30 minutes or until firm and golden brown.
