The crazy tart with mixed vegetables is ideal for impressing everyone. A simple yet tasty preparation, it can be served as an Appetizer, Aperitif, for a Standing Buffet by making single portions. The base is made with crazy dough, it’s butter-free, light, and crumbly; it doesn’t require hours and hours of rest. Instead of butter, I used IGP Tuscan extra virgin olive oil with a good fruity flavor, and it’s also rich in beneficial properties like antioxidants and monounsaturated fatty acids. In the kitchen, it is versatile and can be used in various preparations, with or without cooking.
