Coca de Bolets i Porros Andorrana
A savory Andorran flatbread ('coca') topped with a delicious combination of sautéed wild mushrooms and sweet leeks, often finished with local cheese. This dish highlights the earthy flavors of the Pyrenean region.
🧂 Ingredients
- 1 sheet Coca dough(store-bought or homemade puff pastry or pizza dough)
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 medium Leeks(white and light green parts only, thinly sliced and well washed)
- 400 g Mixed mushrooms(sliced (e.g., porcini, chanterelles, button mushrooms))
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves(minced)
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme(chopped)
- 100 g Shredded cheese(e.g., Gruyère, Comté, or a mix)
- Salt(to taste)
- Black pepper(freshly ground, to taste)
- 1 Egg yolk (optional)(beaten, for brushing the crust)
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). If using puff pastry, lightly score a border around the edges of the dough. Prick the base of the dough with a fork, avoiding the border, to prevent it from puffing up too much.
- 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, until the mushrooms are golden brown and have released their liquid.
- 4
Stir in the chopped fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute.
- 5
Spread the mushroom and leek mixture evenly over the prepared coca dough, staying within the scored border if using puff pastry.
- 6
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the mushroom and leek topping.
- 7
If using puff pastry, brush the scored border with the beaten egg yolk for a golden finish.
- 8
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- 9
Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
