AUTORE:
TIPO DI RICETTA: Brunch
CUCINA: Italian
PORZIONI: 6
INGREDIENTI
  • 125 g of wholemeal flour
  • 125 g of plain flour
  • 125 g of cold butter
  • a pinch of salt
  • cold water, as needed
  • 8-10 cherry tomatoes
  • fresh pesto sauce
  • garlic (discretionary)
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • a vanilla bean
COME PROCEDERE
  1. Place the flours, the salt and the butter cut into cubes in the bowl of the food processor and pulse at intervals until you have a crumbled dough.
  2. Add the water, approximately 2 tablespoons, and continue to pulse until the dough is smooth and homogeneous.
  3. Using a rolling pin, roll out the pastry thin and even between two sheets of baking paper (about ½ cm thick).
  4. Use a cookie cutter to cut 6 disks out of the dough. Remember that the disks have to be a little bigger than the moulds.
  5. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  6. Wash and cut the tomatoes into thin rounds. Let them drain between two sheets of kitchen towel.
  7. Transfer the pastry to the moulds and remove the excess.
  8. Spread a teaspoon of pesto over each pie, add the tomatoes, an unpeeled clove of garlic (discretionary), a trickle of oil and a little part of the vanilla bean, better still if you scatter here and there some vanilla seeds.
  9. Bake for about 20/25 minutes or until the pies are golden brown.
  10. Take the pies out of the oven and serve warm or lukewarm maybe with a crunchy mixed salad.
