Preparation

Prepare a shortcrust pastry with 250 g of all-purpose flour, 100 g of soft butter cut into pieces, a pinch of salt, and 70 g of cold water. Work the dough well and let it rest for 15 minutes. Then divide it into two parts, one larger and one smaller. Roll out the larger part into a disc and line a baking dish. Spread the raw minced meat, thinly sliced onion, roughly chopped snap peas, and finally the chopped mozzarella on top. Complete with the second disc of shortcrust pastry, seal the edges well, and bake at 180 degrees for 40 minutes.

Tips
If you want the shortcrust pastry to be particularly crispy, roll out the second disk of dough thinly, creating a golden and light crust that contrasts with the soft filling of taccole and mozzarella.
Trivia
Taccole, a variety of peas, are native to the Mediterranean area and were used in ancient times for their versatility in the kitchen and high nutritional value, rich in protein and fiber.
