Instructions
Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees
Pre-heat a large saute pan over medium heat.
Add one tablespoon of your olive oil to the pan.
2 tablespoon olive oil
Slice your zucchini into about ¼ inch round slices
1 Zucchini
Now add your zucchini and cook for about 1 minute on each side. You do not need to cook it all the way through since we are just giving it a bit of a pre-cook before it goes into the oven.
Remove zucchini from the pan when done and add it to a large plate. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and set aside.
salt and pepper to taste
Slice up your chorizo and set aside. Your chorizo does not need to pre-cooked and will cook through in the oven.
6 ounces Spanish Chorizo
Roll out your dough. Roll it out to about 16-18 inches making sure the crust is not looking see through.
1 disc of pastry dough/or pie crust
Once your dough is rolled out, place it on a large baking sheet.
Take the remaining one tablespoon of olive oil and add it to the top of your dough and spread it out evenly.
Now add your zucchini and chorizo making sure to mix the ingredients up evenly all over the dough but leaving a one inch border empty around the crust.
Sprinkle your Manchego cheese evenly over the toppings.
6 ounces Manchego cheese
Now fold the outer one inch edge of your crust inwards so that it covers just a little bit of the ingredients.
Brush the folded crust with an egg wash by taking one egg, whipping it and then using a pastry brush to brush the egg wash over the outer crust.
1 large egg
Place in your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust starts to turn a nice golden brown.
