Ingredients for 6 people

For the dough

  • 400 g flour for fresh pasta
  • 160 ml of water
  • 60 ml Puglia olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder

For the piadine

  • 10 slices of aubergine, 5 mm thick
  • 8 kalamata olives
  • 120 g feta
  • 6 tbsp Aegan tapenade
  • Bonsecco olive oil
  • Arugula
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Getting started
For the piadine, place flour, baking powder, olive oil and salt in a mixing bowl, mix until
even and form a ball. Let it rise covered in a warm place for 10 minutes
. Divide the dough into 80 gram balls and put it covered again in a warm place, this time for half an hour. Roll out the balls into thin slices and fry them in a
dry frying pan until they are cooked.

Heat a grill pan and fry the aubergine slices on both sides for about 1 minute. Remove the pits from the Kalamata olives and cut into small pieces. Spread the Aegean tapenade on a piadina, place the grilled aubergine on top and crumble the feta over it. Place pieces of olive on the feta and finish with a little arugula mixed with olive oil.
