Tarts are super easy to make, salty or sweet, with butter or olive oil, they are a favorite to cook here. They are fast and efficient as you can put any kind of filling and they can keep you full for a long time!

Ingredients

  • For the crust
  • 150 grams whole grain flour

  • 150 grams all-purpose flour

  • 1 egg

  • 80ml olive oil

  • 100ml water

  • salt

  • For the filling
  • 400 grams peppers

  • 1 big onion chopped in slices

  • 300 grams feta cheese

  • 2 eggs

  • 300 grams yogurt

  • 1/4 bunch of dill

  • 1 clove of garlic

  • salt and pepper

Directions

  • First, prepare the crust by adding to a bowl the flour, salt, egg and olive oil, mix with a spoon until smooth and then work it with your hands until dough comes together. It should become a smooth paste that doesn’t stick in your fingers. If its too sticky add some flour, if too hard add some water. When it’s ready let it rest in the fridge while you’re preparing the filling.
  • Cut the top of the peppers and take out the seeds. Cut in slices the peppers, onion, garlic, and cook them in a frying pan with some olive oil for 10 minutes on high fire. When they are ready place them in a bowl with the eggs, feta in pieces, yogurt, dill, salt, pepper and mix.
  • Take the dough out from the fridge, place it on a straight surface like a table and start working it with a dowel rod from the middle to the outward toward edges. When you achieve the desired thickness (not very thick), place it in a oiled oven pan. Add the filling mix that you prepared earlier and put it in preheated oven for 45 minutes at 200°C.
