Cover it with a sheet of film or a cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.In the meantime, focus on the chard.Clean them, wash them, then blanch them in lightly salted boiling water, drain them and squeeze them.In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and brown the peeled, washed and sliced spring onions.Then add the blanched beets, salt, pepper and cook for a few minutes.Then remove from the heat and leave to cool.
Preheat the oven to 180°C.In the meantime, divide the dough in two and roll out one part into a rather thin sheet.Place the pastry obtained on the bottom of a round pan covered with a sheet of baking paper and distribute the vegetable filling inside.Add the stracchino, distribute the coarsely chopped dried tomatoes and sprinkle the marjoram leaves.
Roll out the remaining dough equally, place it on the filling and close the edges well by rolling them up on themselves.Prick the surface with the tines of a fork and brush it with the beaten egg.Bake the savory pie obtained for about 20-25 minutes.When the surface is golden, take the whole grass out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes and serve it.
Curiosities and advice
Erbazzone is a typical Emilian specialty.The original recipe includes a savory pie with type 00 wheat flour dough and a filling of chard with ricotta, bacon and Parmesan.Also using the stem of the chard, the "scarpa", it is also called scarpazzone.However, it is possible to decline it in infinite varieties.Our version is vegetarian and involves the use of wholemeal flour for an even more intense flavor and a "rougher" texture on the palate.Steps
