This recipe, by coincidence, found its way to our table, and a tiny Tavern, located close to the Plaza Mayor, in the neighborhood of La Latina, on Cava Alta, in an oaky, rustic tiny haven for gourmets and syabrites alike.

Hi Francesca

That looks lovely.
From what I can see, it appears to have onion in it as well? Is that the case.?
It looks lovely and is great to see the two ideas together!
The pastry, was it savoury and thicker. I'm guessing so if you easy for a quiche. That would be a shortcrust pastry.

I was thinking that a filo pastry, something that is nice and crisp would work really well, to help counter the aubergine absorbing the olive oil,

Anyhow it looks wonderful and has given me a few ideas for our Christmas day menu!

Thank you.

There was a small amount of sliced tomato and sweet red onion, called a Calçot which is a spring onion sort of with dangling sphericals and they are Catalan indigenious onions .. They are quite large .. Forgot .. Have had many meals since !!

Sorry but restaurant was very low keyed on lighting so photograph has poor resolution .. The Chef said, he used a Quiche Pastry short crust pastry .. and all paired very nicely ..

A phyllo could be quite wonderful too .. It was quite delicious .. My husband and I shared it .. We sliced it like one would a pizza ..

Pleased you like it !!! Have a lovely weekend ..
