This dish is perfect for a light dinner or a picnic, and it is an excellent choice for those following a vegan or fasting diet. Roasted peppers and eggplants bring an intense flavor and pleasant texture, while the shortcrust pastry is the perfect base for these savory vegetables. Let's get started! Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 15 minutes Total time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients For the pastry: - 300 g flour - 100 g oil (preferably olive oil for added flavor) - 100 g warm water - 1 teaspoon salt - 1 teaspoon dry yeast (or a small amount of fresh yeast) For the filling: - 3 large roasted and peeled peppers (you can use red, yellow, or green peppers, depending on your preference) - 2 roasted and peeled eggplants - 8 tablespoons tomato paste - 50 g pine nuts (toasted for an intense flavor) Preparation 1. Preparing the vegetables: Start by roasting the peppers and eggplants. You can do this either on a grill or in the oven at 200°C until the skin turns black and the vegetables are soft (about 30-40 minutes). Once roasted, let them cool slightly, then peel and slice them into thin strips. 2. Preparing the pastry: In a large bowl, combine the flour with salt and yeast. Add the oil and warm water. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous dough. If using fresh yeast, ensure it is activated before adding it to the mixture. 3. Let the dough rise: Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until it doubles in volume. 4. Assembling the dish: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Grease a baking tray with a little oil. After the dough has risen, spread it evenly in the tray, ensuring the edges are slightly raised to hold the filling. 5. Adding the filling: Spread the tomato paste over the entire surface of the dough, then evenly arrange the strips of eggplant and peppers. Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts on top for added texture and flavor. 6. Baking: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the dish for about 15 minutes or until the pastry turns golden and crispy. 7. Serving: Let the dish cool slightly before cutting it into portions. You can serve the vegan shortcrust pastry with a fresh salad or a vegan yogurt sauce for an even more enjoyable culinary experience. Tips and Tricks - Vegetable varieties: You can experiment with different roasted vegetables, such as zucchini or onion, to add variety to the dish. - Spices: Add herbs like oregano or basil to the tomato paste for extra flavor. - Pine nuts: If you can't find pine nuts, you can use toasted almonds or sesame seeds for a similar texture. Nutritional Information and Calories This recipe is rich in fiber and vitamins thanks to the roasted vegetables, and the pastry provides a source of carbohydrates. Each serving contains approximately 300-350 calories, depending on the portion size and ingredients used. Frequently Asked Questions - Can I use other types of flour?

The dish stores well in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days. You can reheat it in the oven to restore its crispy texture. - Is this dish suitable for vegans? Absolutely!
