Pizz'e ffuje
Ingredients
4 1/4 cups corn flour
salt
1 1/4 pounds various seasonal vegetables (endive, chicory, chard, lettuce, spring, black or white cabbage)
1/3 pound potatoes, peeled and cut into large disks
1 small clove garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
hot red pepper flakes
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 325 degree. Arrange the corn flour into a mound on a flat surface. Add salt and warm water and knead for 5 minutes until a homogeneous and soft dough is obtained. Roll out the dough and form into a circular shape. Transfer to the oven to bake for about an hour, until it's cooked through, but not overly crispy. (In the traditional Abruzzo kitchen it is cooked under burning embers protected by tiles, on the hearth floor.)
Boil the vegetables together with the potatoes. Meanwhile, in a skillet, sauté the garlic in the oil with hot red pepper flakes and salt. Drain the vegetables and potatoes and dress with the oil-garlic mixture. Take the baked corn flour round and crumble it in the dressed vegetables and potatoes and put it in a large earthenware bowl. Serve warm.
