Savory Pies: Sue's Torta Rustica

Aug 19, 2011 I'm not sure how to rate this because while I like it well enough, it is a heavy and very filling dish, and this makes a lot! I think I'd like some veggies in this thing, but I don't know if torta's usually do, so for all I know they are all heavy. The pastry is very easy, but it does turn out pretty sticky so be prepared to use a lot of flour when rolling out. The directions are on target, and mine was done in the time frame. I really am not a fan of the eggs in this, though. They look pretty but they taste dry to me so I'd leave them out next time. This is definitely a dish you want to serve with something light, like a salad, as one slice is definitely plenty. Bf loved this--probably bc of all the meat in it! Thanks for the recipe.
