Low Carb Torta Provençal. In the olden days I would probably have done this Torta Provençal with a thin pate brisee but whoa is me-can’t eat that anymore. A torta can be either savory or sweet but is pretty much encased in a crust or pastry of some kind and is often made in a springform pan which again, is how I used to make them. Well…I haven’t figured out how to encase a torta in an almond flour pastry so we are going to settle for the pie shaped wedge. Enjoy. I am not stealing this woman’s pictures but if you want to see a stupendous torta look at this one-it is a serious work of art. And if you scroll down you can see how she assembled it step by step. Incredibly beautiful, http://parsleysagesweet.com/2013/05/18/tourte-milanese-a-meal-en-croute/ and uh no, mine were never as gorgeous as this one is.
