Ingredients
To make Torta de Verduras, you will need the following ingredients:
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
1 onion
3 cloves of garlic
1 zucchini
1 eggplant
1 cup of spinach
6 eggs
1/2 cup of grated cheese
3 tablespoons of olive oil
Salt and pepper
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the vegetables
Start by washing and chopping all the vegetables into small pieces. You can use a food processor to make this process faster.
Step 2: Saute the vegetables
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes. Then, add the red and green bell peppers, zucchini, and eggplant. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.
Step 3: Add the spinach
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until it has wilted. Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Step 4: Beat the eggs
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs together with the grated cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5: Combine the vegetables and eggs
Add the cooked vegetables to the bowl with the beaten eggs and cheese. Mix everything together until the vegetables are coated with the egg mixture.
Step 6: Cook the torta
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) baking dish with olive oil. Pour the vegetable and egg mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the torta is golden brown and set.
Step 7: Serve
Remove the torta from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice it into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
