How to prepare: Savory pie with purple cabbage and provolone
Preparing the Savory pie with purple cabbage and provolone is easy. Cut the cabbage into thin strips, rinse it and dry it well. Heat a couple of tablespoons of oil in a pan and season the sliced leek with the bacon cubes.
When the pancetta is lightly browned, add the cabbage and cook it for about ten minutes: it must soften but still remain crunchy because cooking will continue in the oven. Cut the provolone into cubes.
Transfer the contents of the pan, slightly cooled, to a bowl. Add an egg, the provolone and mix well, adjusting the salt and pepper. Roll out the puff pastry, with the same parchment paper, to line a round pan of about 23 cm in diameter; prick the bottom with the tines of a fork and fill with the filling.
Fold the edges of the dough and brush with the egg yolk, which you will have lightly beaten with a fork. Put in the oven, preheated to 180 ° and cook for 25-30 minutes, until the pasta is golden brown.
Remove from the oven the savory pie with purple cabbage and provolone, let it cool so that the filling settles and serve.
