Italian Vegetable Pie Spiral

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a spiral vegetable pie? Prepare the ingredients for the base. The butter should be at room temperature. Wheat flour, the highest grade.

2. Step 2:

   

   Combine flour and butter in a deep bowl. Add baking powder and a pinch of salt. The baking powder is responsible here for an even greater friability of the base. To shade the taste of the cake, you can add half a teaspoon of sugar.

3. Step 3:

   

   Mix the ingredients with your hands until the sand crumbs form.

4. Step 4:

   

   The dough is bad, but it should gather into a ball.

5. Step 5:

   

   The baking dish does not need to be oiled. Spread the dough in the form, forming a side 3 centimeters high. My form is 16 centimeters in diameter. Cover the dough form with a film and put it in the refrigerator for at least half an hour.

6. Step 6:

   

   Prepare the ingredients for the filling. Tomatoes need ripe, sweet and fleshy. It is on their quality and taste that the success of the pie will depend.

7. Step 7:

   

   Wash the tomatoes and chop them in a blender. Pour the mixture into a saucepan and bring to a boil over low heat.

8. Step 8:

   

   Pour in olive oil, add finely grated garlic, salt, pepper and dried Italian herbs.

10. Step 9:

    

    On low heat, stirring, bring the mixture to thicken. It took me about 15 minutes for the mixture to hold the groove from the shoulder blade. Remove the filling from the heat and allow it to cool down.

11. Step 10:

    

    Meanwhile, prepare the ingredients for the decoration of the top. Zucchini should be young, with a tender peel and seeds. Rinse the vegetables under running water. Peel the carrots.

12. Step 11:

    

    Using a slicer, cut the vegetables into thin long strips.

13. Step 12:

    

    Distribute the cooled filling over the base. Grate the cheese on a fine grater on top.

14. Step 13:

    

    And now the most interesting thing! Starting from the center, lay out the vegetable slices in a spiral, alternating vegetables until the entire filling is closed. For convenience, you can cut the slices in half again. It took me exactly 30 minutes to complete the decoration stage.

15. Step 14:

    

    Brush the vegetables on top with a small amount of olive oil and bake in the oven for 40 minutes at 180 ° C.

16. Step 15:

    

    Before serving, you can once again grease the top of the pie with olive oil.
