About the dish

Torta di pepe di Camaiore is a traditional savory pie originating from Camaiore. The base is usually made with a combination of flour, salt, olive oil, and water, while the filling is made with a mixture of rice, eggs, ricotta, chard, milk, Parmigiano-Reggiano, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Heated milk and ricotta are mixed with cooked rice, chopped chard, cheese, nutmeg, eggs, salt, and a generous amount of black pepper. The pie is baked in the oven, sprinkled with more black pepper, and it’s then enjoyed, either cold or lukewarm.
