Tomato Pie. It's a Southern speciality. Now this roasted tomato onion pie is not to be confused with the Italian tomato pie. However, really my creation is cross pollination between the Southern tomato pie and the Italian version. Now the Italian version is also called a pizza, and it derives from the Sicilian pizza. Tomato sauce is usually used as well as cheese and other toppings. The Southern version uses whole tomatoes along with basil, other herbs and cheese. It's most popular in the summer when tomatoes are in season. Epicurious gives a history of the Southern tomato pie which they note that it's most popular in the Carolinas.
