Lunch (per my previous post today) was a treat for the taste buds and the recipe for the Torta Rustica<\/strong>-which literally means- rustic pie<\/strong>.
\nA few tips on Torta Rustica-this recipe contains spinach but you can substitute swiss chard or make a torta rustica using grilled eggplant and\/or mushrooms.. my favorite is the spinach one.\u00a0 We made the puff pastry crust but it is quite time consuming so I am going to recommend that you purchase a high quality (one that contains NO hydrogenated fats). If you would like to make your own puff pastry email me for the recipe at: editor@marialiberati.com<\/a> and put ‘puff pastry’ in the subject.
\nAnd\u00a0ohh can’t forget\u00a0\u00a0the Pecorino wine we chose..it complemented this dish so well.
\nTORTA RUSTICA<\/strong>
\n*1 ready made puff pastry for a crust<\/strong>
\n* 1 lb of fresh or frozen spinach-washed and chopped<\/strong>
\n*1\/2 cup grated parmigiana-reggiano cheese<\/strong>
\n*1\/2 lb fresh ricotta cheese<\/strong>
\n*2 cloves garlic<\/strong>
\n*2 tblsps extra virgin olive oil<\/strong>
\nUnroll crust and place in\u00a0\u00a0pie or torte pan-greased with butter. Place olive oil in saute pan with 2 peeled whole cloves of garlic. Saute till just about golden. Then place in chopped spinach. Saute till cooked. Remove garlic cloves, salt to taste. Place fresh ricotta in a bowl and place in spinach, grated parmigiana-reggiano cheese. stir till well blended.<\/strong>
\nPlace mixture into crust. Place in oven. Bake for 30 minutes or until crust is golden.<\/strong>
