Directions

  1. In a pan, melt the lard and brown the meat. Add the wine, cloves, and bay leaves.
  2. Spread the dough out and evenly distribute the vegetable mixture, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and chorizo pieces. ≈ 4 min
  3. Onions can be added to the meat or placed on top of the filling. ≈ 3 min
  4. To create the puff pastry, the dough is rolled into a cone shape, then sliced. These slices are then stretched with a rolling pin until they are very thin, covering the top of the cake. By rolling and cutting the dough into discs, and then flattening them, a spiral-shaped puff pastry is created. ≈ 3 min
  5. Before putting it in the oven, the puff pastry needs to be brushed with butter.
