Hi, Katerine here. Christina of Riesling asks about a torta:
>The torta is completely encased in a crust and inside are layers of
>cheese (mozzarella, Parmesan, feta), vegetables (spinach, roasted
>peppers, and thinly sliced ham.
I'm no expert of Italian, but here's my first-pass take. There are
cheese tortas, and spinach ones. I believe that there's a spinach
torta that calls for cheese. I know of no layered Italian tortas,
nor do I know of ones with a top crust. The peppers are new world.
I know of none that call for ham.
If you lose the peppers, it's better than a a lot of stuff that
gets served at feasts. If you lose the top crust and the ham, better
yet.
Cheers,
