Andalusian Gazpacho

As many people are looking for Mediterranean Diet Recipes specifically, we are going to create a Mediterranean Diet Recipes Section separately, in a nested blog. These Mediterranean Diet Recipes come from different countries and not all of them are recommended for a fat diet loss. As everybody knows, the Mediterranean Diet is a balanced diet followed by many hard working people with a high physical activity that not always need to reduce weight. Anyway, the most important issue in Mediterranean Diet is proportions. You can have more information at Mediterranean Diet.

Put a dish with some of the oil on the stove to sauté the meat. Add the onion, green peppers, the garlic and the tomato. Let it cook for a few minutes. Add the loin, the white wine and the saffron and let it cook gently until the wine disappears. Remove the mixture from the stove, drain it and cool it.


Divide the dough in two, one part larger than the other. Take the bigger part and roll it out on a floured board until it is the shape of the dish or bigger. Cover the base with the dough.


Put the mixture on top of the dough and spread it. Spread the rest of the dough and put it on top of the mixture. Remove the extra dough. Wet the side of the dough at the bottom of the dish and press it with the fingers folding it until they are attached closing it hermetically. Prick the pie with a fork to make small holes to allow the steam to escape.


Decorate with the previously prepared dough. Brush it with a mixture of egg and milk. Cook in the oven . Remove it when cooked. Allow to cool. Cut into portions and serve.
