Whole-wheat bread with roasted vegetables, anchovies and belly (Coca de escalivada)

By Administrador 2021/02/12

Today we suggest you celebrate the weekend with a delicious whole wheat bread with roasted vegetables (Coca de escalivada), anchovies and White Tuna belly. A perfect recipe to share, which could be part of our compilation of recipes for Valentine’s Day. Cristina debuts in our recipe contest with a proposal that combines the best of Mediterranean and the Cantabrian seas.

Coca is a pastry dough typically made and consumed on the Spanish Mediterranean coast. It is similar to pizza and focaccia, two other Mediterranean doughs, but it has a medium thickness between them, and can be used with both sweet and savory recipes. In this case, Cristina opts for the second option

For the pastry dough, use whole wheat spelled flour (which as we can see in the post about types of flour, is a healthy alternative). She adds another Mediterranean recipe, the escalivada. Finishing with the Cantabrian touch, our canned fish: anchovies and tuna belly.

As you can see, all the ingredients are delicious and healthy. We leave you with Cristina’s recipe, which we encourage you to prepare for the weekend and tell us the result

Roll out the dough on a rectangular baking sheet.
Put the grated tomato on the entire base.
Add the escalivada (pepper and aubergine) and put on top, the tuna belly, the anchovies and the olives cut in half.
