Want to make one too?



Here are the ingredients:

• 2 cups of flour (all purpose or whole wheat, whichever you prefer)
• 1/2 cup of butter or margarine
• 4 large eggs
• 2 table spoons of olive oil
• water (to add as needed)
• chopped vegetables - one red bell pepper (or half of a red bell pepper and half of a yellow bell pepper), spinach leaves and/or broccoli (I usually add both), one large onion and one large carrot
• your favorite vegetable seasoning (I use Provence herbs)
• salt, pepper and powdered garlic to taste

To make the the crust combine flour, margarine and one egg in a bowl. Slowly add water and mix (using your hand is the fastest way) until you have a uniform ball of dough. Let the dough rest for a while. Put all your vegetables in a pan, add the olive oil, a bit of water, the salt and the seasoning. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

Spread the crust dough over the bottom and the sides of a pie mold and pour the vegetables over the crust, taking care not to add a lot of liquid.

In another bowl, whisk the remaining three eggs and then pour them as evenly as possible over the vegetables.

Put it in the oven at 180º C for about 35 minutes or until the crust starts to look golden-ish. Serve it hot or cold, according to your preference.

This is an easy recipe that allows you to make a colorful, healthy meal from scratch in a short amount of time, and it has endless possibilities for variation.

Eat well and enjoy spring!
