Tomato and fresh anchovy tarts

There are certain products I just love like tomatoes or apple, and never tire of cooking them in a multitude of different ways. Especially tomato, the closer we get to the season, the more impatient I get. We will get the right weather this year? Will the plants be hit by disease? (of course, 'natural untreated' tomatoes are more susceptible...) Awaiting the answers to these questions, tomatoes from the local market will have to substitute for this recipe.
