Red, ripe tomatoes are sweet and delicate in flavor; chiles range in taste from subtle to robust; and fresh herbs are pungent and aromatic.

These ingredients provide a vigorous and distinctive flavor.

************************ Variation: This master pizza recipe can be varied according to what you find in the garden, the market, and your imagination. Grilled rabbit, beans, tomatillos and raw onions are all successful additions.
