description
The Rustico Leccese is a finger food loved and appreciated in Salento. I am a hard crispy golden pastry enclosing a soft filling of sauce, tomato and mozzarella! Really unique! #cucinapugliese
preparation
step 1
First made the sauce: Heat the milk, speziandolo with pepper and nutmeg, melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, add the flour and stir quickly.
step 2
Stir quickly with a spiral whisk to prevent lumps from forming.
step 3
When the flour is completely mixed, add the hot milk, add salt and, stirring constantly, let thicken the whole.
step 4
Then cut the mozzarella into small pieces. Season the tomato puree with a little olive oil, salt and pepper.
step 5
With a pastry cutter cut out from the sheet 16 circles with a diameter of 10 cm and 8 smaller circles of 8 cm diameter.
step 6
Place 8 large circles on a baking tray covered with baking paper, lay the diced mozzarella on the edge of the disks in such a way as to create a barrier.
step 7
At the center, pour 2/3 tablespoons of sauce and a few pieces of peeled tomatoes. Cover with the larger disk.
step 8
Seal well the waves edges to prevent the filling from escaping during the rustic cottura..dopodichè brush the surface with an egg yolk.
step 9
Bake for 15 minutes at 180 ° C and then, for another 5 minutes in grill mode to make the surface more rustic golden and crispy.
