Serve 8
500gr plain flour
2 or 3 baking flour
225ml water
6 large red peppers Roasted , peeled and seeded
Gozo salt
Freshly ground black pepper.
Mix the flour, baking powder water and olive oil in a food processor to a fairly sticky dough . With greased hands , pat on a greased baking sheet and flatten .
Top with well seasoned roasted , peeled julienned of red pepper . Bake for 20 minutes at 200degrees celcius gas mark 6 , and serve warm . Because of the texture of the dough the coca is very easy to cut up , even the pastry cutters for canapes .
Cook ‘s note
The Coca can be garished with olives and topped with another than red pepper , such as aubergine or courgettes for a mixture of different peppers and tomatoes .
400gr shortcrust pastry
85 butter
4 large onion peeled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon flour
300 ml cream or full cream milk
Gozo salt.
Freshly ground black pepper .
Feeshly grated nutmeg
4 eggs
Melt the butter in a heavy frying pan and it gently fry the onions until soft , translucent and just beginning to turn color . This will not be berried . Remove the pan from the heat , sprinkle on the flour and gradually stir in the cream . Bring to the boil starring continuously and cook for 5 minutes . Season the mixture with salt and pepper and grind in a little fresh nutmeg . Beat in the eggs one at a time , away from the heat , .
Line a 25 centimeter pie dish with pastry and pour in the filling . Place the dish on a baking sheet in a pre-heated oven at 200 degrees celcius gas mark 6 for about 40 minutes until the top is golden brown . The tart can be served at any temperture but I prefer it warm .
1 cauliflower , cut into large flourets
25gr butter
25gr flour
400gr milk
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
150gr cheese grated
Salt and pepper
50gr fresh breadcrumbs
Preheat oven to 180 °C. Stem or boil the cornflower until tender .
Make sure you drain any excess moisture . A rrange the florets in individual gratin dishes trying to keep the flour over medium heat . stir constantly with a wooden spoon until it forms a dough .
Continue to stir for another minute and so .
Add a little milk , some 100ml .
This will incorporate fairly quickly into the dough and will once again come away from the sides of the pan .
Once this happens you can repeat this process until all the milk has been added.
Stir in the mustard add the cheese and stir until it melts. Season to taste
.
Pour the cheese sauce over the flourets , making sure there were no gaps . Arrange the cooked cauliflour in a earthenware dish .
Mix the remaining cheese with breadcrumbs and sprinkle over the cauliflour .
Bake uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
