Step-by-step
- Versa la farina su una spianatoia ed aggiungi il sale, la buccia di limone grattata e il pepe di Sichuan pestato.
- Aggiungi il burro freddo a cubetti e sfregalo con le mani con la farina fino ad ottenere una consistenza briciolosa ed omogenea, quasi come pangrattato.
- Mescola in una terrina i tuorli con 2 cucchiai di acqua fredda.
- Unisci i tuorli alla farina e impasta fino a formare una palla uniforme e liscia.
- Avvolgi nella pellicola trasparente e lascia riposare in frigo almeno 1 ora.
- Dopo un'ora preriscalda il forno a 180°C e togli la frolla dal frigo e con l'aiuto di un mattarello e di un po' di farina stendila sottile, in uno spessore di circa 5 mm.
- Fodera una teglia rotonda da 26 cm di diametro con la carta da forno e ricoprila con la frolla, facendo aderire bene i bordi.
- Copri il fondo della torta con il formaggio, tagliato a fette sottili.
- Pulisci i carciofi e tagliali in spicchi sottili sottili, passandoli nel limone per non farli annerire. Disponili a raggiera per coprire tutta la torta.
- In una ciotolina mescola pangrattato, sale, pepe di Sichuan pestato e buccia di limone grattata.
- Cospargi la superficie della torta con questo mix e condisci con un generoso filo d'olio extravergine di oliva.
- Inforna in forno caldo e cuoci per 30 minuti.
- Togli dal forno e servi la torta calda per goderti il formaggio morbido, o anche fredda a striscioline sottili come antipasto.
