Savory Pastiera
This is the savory version of the classic and famous Neapolitan sweet pastiera. The base is still made with shortcrust pastry, and the filling is a savory mix of ricotta and wheat. Salami and provolone replace the candied fruit, and Parmesan and Pecorino take the place of sugar.

- 1
For the savory shortcrust pastry: In a bowl, combine the flour, Parmesan, cold butter pieces, eggs, salt, and baking soda. Mix until the ingredients are just combined. Do not overwork the dough to avoid warming it and developing the gluten.
- 2
Shape the dough into a flat disc on a work surface, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
- 3
Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Cook the wheat berries with the butter, milk, and a pinch of salt for about 10 minutes, stirring often.
- 4
In a large bowl, mix the ricotta with the eggs, Pecorino, Parmesan, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- 5
Add the cooked wheat berries and mix well. Then add the diced salami and provolone.
- 6
Roll out the dough to about 1/6 inch thick (4 mm) and line a round or square baking pan.

Fill with the ricotta mixture and cover the top with strips of leftover pastry.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 50 minutes or until golden brown.
