Layered Vegetable Torte
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon rock salt
- 1/2 cup water, enough to bind
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 red onion, diced finely
- 1 garlic clove, diced finely
- 14 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon red wine or 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 anchovies, roughly chopped
- 1 eggplant
- 2 zucchini
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 1 handful basil leaves
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 egg, for egg wash
- In a mixer, or in a food processor, add the flour and rock salt. Begin mixing and add the oil, then slowly add the water until the dough just comes together.
- Knead the dough with your hands for 10 minutes; it will be quite tough.
- Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Sweat onion and garlic in a pan with a little olive oil.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Slice the eggplant into .5 in rounds and slice zucchini lengthwise into 1/4 inch strips.
- Grill vegetables on a high heat on a barbecue, griddle or in a frying pan.
- Add sugar and vinegar to the tomato sauce and simmer until thick.
- Add the anchovies.
- Take 1/2 of the dough and roll out to a thickness of approximately 0.2mm.
- The dough will spring back so just keep working it until you get a large circle (approximately 15 inches).
- Place on greaseproof paper onto a baking tray.
- Layer the filling in the center of the dough, leaving approximately 2 inches around the edge for sealing.
- Layer in the order of eggplant, zucchini, prosciutto, tomato sauce, basil leaves, and parmesan.
- Repeat, and finish with a layer of eggplant.
- Roll the remaining dough out to a similar size and lay over the filling.
- Crimp and fold the edges to seal the torta (you can trim the edges a little if you have too much dough), and prick the top a few times with the point of a sharp knife.
- Brush the torta with egg wash.
- Bake at 340u0b0F for 30-40 minutes.
- Cut into wedges and serve with a green salad.
