Place the tomatoes , olives , feta , basil and sauted veggies into a bowl and toss well , then transfer the mixture to an ovenproof dish.
Cut a pastry sheet to fit the dish and place it on top of the vegetables.
Tuck in the edges and cook in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the pastry is golden and has risen slightly.
Allow the tart to cool a little and then invert it onto a large serving platter , so that the pastry is now on the bottom.
