Torta Pascualina (salty vegetable and egg cake)

Preparation

1. We put all the ingredients of the dough in the glass. We knead programming 2 minutes, glass closed, spike speed. We divide the dough into 4 parts, two of 100 g and another 2 of approximately 150 g. Let the dough portions rest for 1 hour, covered with plastic wrap.

2. In that time we prepare the filling. We start by grating the cheese in the clean and dry glass, with a few strokes of turbo. We take out and reserve.

3. We put the onion and oil in the glass. We program 3 seconds, speed 7. We lower with the spatula what has remained on the walls of the glass. We program 3 minutes, 100º, speed 1.

4. With the lid on, without a beaker and without programming time or temperature, we put the machine in speed 4. With the blades in motion, we are pouring the spinach through the mouth, helping us with the spatula when necessary. In this way the spinach will be crushed evenly and in a short time we will have them all in the glass, already chopped and ready to cook.

5. We now put a little salt and program 12 minutes, 100º, speed 1.

6. At the end of the time, we put the basket on a bowl and pour the spinach into it. In this way we will drain the vegetables collecting all the water that they have released (this liquid can be useful for other recipes).

7. When they are well drained we put the spinach back in the glass, add the cottage cheese and the Parmesan that we had grated at the beginning. We program 15 seconds, turn left, speed 4.

8. When we have the dough and the filling ready we can start to assemble the cake. On the countertop and with a rolling pin we spread one of the pasta portions (one of the large ones). It has to be very fine. In a mold of about 24 cm in diameter we spread butter or oil and sprinkle a little flour (another option is to cover it with a sheet of greaseproof paper). We place the first sheet of dough on this mold, ensuring that this sheet protrudes from the mold -so then we can close the cake well-. We spread it with olive oil and place the second pasta sheet on top (the other large one).

9. We now put the spinach that we have prepared before. With the help of a spoon we make five holes (one in the center and another four in the shape of a cross) and we put an egg in each of them. We put a little salt in each egg.

10. We close our cake with one of the dough sheets (one of the small ones) well stretched. We brush it with a little oil and place the other small sheet on top.

11. With the help of a rolling pin, passing it around the edges of the mold, we cut the remaining dough. We close the ends of the cake well, as if it were a pie.

12. We fry at 180º (in an oven previously preheated to that temperature) for 30 or 40 minutes, until we see that the dough is golden brown.

13. We serve hot, warm or cold.
