By following this recipe, you can make delicious zucchini tortillas with onions. Greaves and onions give the dish a hearty base. Zucchini does not taste, but gives the dough the necessary moisture.
It is necessary
- - salt - 2 tsp;
- - sugar - 1.5 tsp;
- - egg - 1 piece;
- - water - 0.5 cups;
- - live yeast - 25 g;
- - flour - 3 glasses;
- - zucchini - 400 g;
- - onions - 200 g;
- - brisket or lard - 200 g.
Instructions
Step 1
Grate the zucchini on a fine to medium grater, add one teaspoon of salt, stir, set aside.
Step 2
Chop lard or brisket finely. Fry until partially lard in a dry skillet. The pieces of bacon should be fried on the outside, but remain juicy on the inside.
Step 3
Remove the greaves from the pan. Put finely chopped onions in the melted bacon. Fry until lightly browned and soft.
Step 4
Add yeast and sugar to warm water. Wait for the foam to appear. In the meantime, carefully squeeze the juice out of the courgettes.
Step 5
Pour the yeast water into a large bowl, add the zucchini, beat in an egg and add salt. Stir the mixture well. Add half the flour, stir with a spoon.
Step 6
Add greaves and onions. Stir again. Pour in the remaining half of the flour, knead the dough, adding flour if necessary.
Step 7
Cover the dough ball with polyethylene, set it aside and wait for it to enlarge one and a half times. Then divide the dough into two pieces and roll these pieces into round tortillas. The cakes should be 2 centimeters thick and about 22 centimeters in diameter.
Step 8
Make four parallel cuts in each cake, just short of the edges. Transfer the tortillas to a greased baking sheet. Pull slightly over the edges, opening the slits and making an oval cake. Lubricate the cuts and top of the cake with oil. Keep it in such a way that it will increase by one and a half times.
Step 9
Preheat the oven to 200 oC, place a baking sheet with a tortilla there. Bake for 35 minutes. Remove the cooked squash cakes with onions and cracklings from the oven and cover with a kitchen towel. This dish can be served as a stand-alone dish, or used with soup.
