Step by step for a perfect drob tart:
1. Preparing the dough:
In a large bowl, combine the flour with salt, cumin, and pepper. Add the diced butter and knead with your fingers until you achieve a texture similar to fine sand. This is the moment when the aroma of the butter will intertwine with the other ingredients.
2. Adding wet ingredients:
In another bowl, beat the egg and Greek yogurt, then pour them over the flour mixture. Add the olive oil. Use a spatula to combine the ingredients until you obtain a homogeneous dough.
3. Chilling the dough:
Form a ball from the dough, wrap it in cling film, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This step is essential to achieve a crispy and tender crust.
4. Preparing the filling:
While the dough is chilling, you can start preparing the filling. Chop the turkey meat, onion, garlic, and greens. In a heated pan, add the olive oil and sauté the meat until it turns white.
5. Adding the mushrooms:
Add the chopped mushrooms and continue to cook the mixture for a few minutes. These will bring a delicious umami flavor to your tart.
6. Mixing the ingredients:
Break the 4 eggs into a bowl, add the sour cream, and mix well. Pour this mixture into the pan, stirring constantly, and let it simmer on low heat for a maximum of 20 minutes. Don't forget to adjust the taste with salt and pepper.
7. Assembling the tart:
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and keep a third for decoration. Roll out the remaining dough into the tart shape, ensuring it reaches the edges. Add the meat and mushroom filling, making sure to drain the excess sauce from the pan.
8. Preparing the decoration:
Roll out the reserved dough and cut it into strips to create a lattice on top. This is the moment when your creativity can shine! You can use shapes or patterns as you wish.
9. Baking:
Brush the crust with egg yolk to achieve a golden and appetizing crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 30-40 minutes or until the tart is golden and beautiful.
Serving and suggestions:
The drob tart is served warm or at room temperature. It is perfect as an appetizer for festive meals, alongside a fresh salad or yogurt-based sauces. Additionally, a glass of dry white wine can perfectly complement this delicacy.
