Heart of Palm Cake

Preparation mode

• In a bowl, mix the wheat flour with the cold butter and salt until it forms a crumbly mixture.
• Add the egg and ice water, mixing until you get a smooth dough. If necessary, add more water little by little.
• Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• In a pan, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until golden.
• Add the chopped hearts of palm and tomato, sautéing for a few more minutes.
• Season with salt, pepper and add the parsley. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 180°C.
• Divide the dough into two parts and roll one of them out on a floured surface until you have a disc that covers the bottom and sides of a pie pan.
• Place the filling on the rolled out dough.
• On another floured surface, roll out the second piece of dough and cover the pie, sealing the edges.
• Make a few shallow cuts in the top so that steam can escape during cooking.
• Brush the surface of the pie with a little egg yolk, if desired.
• Bake in a preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until the dough is golden.
• Remove from the oven and let the pie cool slightly before cutting and serving.
