Zucchini Torta

From midgelet 15 years ago

wonderful combinations of ingredients to make a good torta for a summer meal with zucchini as the main ingredient

Pre time includes chilling
For torta crust: In a large bowl place flour, butter, shortening and salt.
Blend until well-combined with a pastry cutter.
Add ice water.
Form into dough ball. Knead lightly a few seconds to distribute fat. Re-form into ball.
Chill at least 3 hours.
Divide in 2 and press into two 10-inch springform pans covering bottom and 1 1/2 inches up sides. Set aside.
For filling: Cook bacon until crisp, drain, leaving 2 tablespoons fat. Add zucchini, onion and garlic and sauté over medium heat for 15 minutes.
Gently stir occasionally. When it has cooked, you should have 21/4 cups.
In a large bowl, beat eggs well.
Add sour cream and salt and beat again.
Stir in rice, cheese, cooked vegetables and crumbled bacon.
Turn into 2 pastry shells and smooth top.
Bake at 375 degrees for about 55 minutes or until golden brown and set.
Let stand 5 minutes then loosen edges.
Cut and serve. Can be eaten warm or cold.
