Dough: Knead the butter and flour into a crumbly mass. Add the cheese and water, and form into a ball. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for one hour. Roll out the dough to about 5 mm thick and place it in a 23 cm metal tart pan. Let stand for one hour, fill with beans, and pre-bake for 10 minutes at 180°C. Remove the beans, bake the dough for another 5 minutes, and let cool. Filling: Mix the tomatoes, olive oil, thyme, garlic, and spices together and let stand for one hour to marinate. Pour the mixture onto the cooled dough and sprinkle with olives. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the tomatoes begin to brown.
