- Turn out the dough and knead lightly until the chives are incorporated.
- Pat the dough into a disc about 1/2 inch thick.
- Wrap and refrigerate for atleast 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature to soften slightly.
- On a well-floured work surface, roll the dough into a 13 to 14 inch round.
- Roll the pastry onto the rolling pin and gently unroll it over an 11 inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Fit the dough evenly into the pan without stretching.
- Trim the overhanging dough to 1 inch from the rim.
- Fold the excess dough over and press it into the side of the pan.
- Refrigerate for 20 minutes, or until firm.

- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove foil and weights and bake 10 minutes longer, or until just set and golden.
- Transfer to a rack to cool completely; then remove the fluted rim and place the shell on a serving platter.
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, stir together the olives, anchovies and capers.
- Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the baked shell.
- Starting at the edge, layer the tomato slices in overlapping, concentric circles.
- Season generously with lots of freshly-ground black pepper and salt.
