A few days ago I shared with you a healthy Mediterranean salad recipe from Majorca Island called Trampó.
Yes, that light and tasty vegan salad made with finely diced fresh raw vegetables and extra virgin olive oil plus a pinch of salt as the only dressing.
And, as promised, today I am sharing with you another classic summer dish from the capital of the Balearic Islands, and that dish is the Coca de trampó.
The Coca de trampó is a delicious and flavorful vegetarian Mediterranean flatbread recipe very easy to prepare and ideal to enjoy at any time of the day: as part of your lunch or dinner, as a tasty brunch, as tapas…
To prepare it you just need to use my multipurpose olive oil dough recipe and my Trampó salad recipe (well drained) as the topping.
If you try this healthy and simple Majorcan flatbread recipe, please let me know, leave a comment and rate it. I would love to know what you come up with! Enjoy!
- 300g (2 ½ cups) plain flour
- 75ml (2.7 fl oz) extra virgin olive oil
- 150ml (5.4 fl oz) warm water
- 2 teaspoons yeast powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 5 Tomatoes, diced
- 6 Small green peppers, cored and diced
- 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt (or salt to taste)
- To prepare the dough follow the instructions as explained in the multipurpose olive oil dough recipe.
- Cover a large baking dish with nonstick baking paper. Once you have flattened out the dough, place it over the baking paper and continue extending it with your hands to reach every corner of the baking dish.
- To prepare the trampó follow the instructions as explained in the Trampó (Majorcan salad) recipe.
- With the help of a fine sieve squeeze out all the liquid of the trampó, making sure it is well drained.
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C (350 degrees F).
- Spread the previously drained trampó evenly over the dough.
- Bake the coca at 175 degrees C (350 degrees F) in the low rack of your oven for 10 minutes - to allow the dough to be well done at the bottom - and then move the baking dish to the middle rack of the oven and continue baking for 15 more minutes or until you see that the vegetables are soft and lightly toasted and the coca crust is crunchy.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Cut it into rectangular portions and serve.
Hello, Margaret. I am from Majorca and it’s wonderful to see that one of our food staples is enjoyed worldwide. It is very common for pimentó (paprika) and white pepper or black pepper (pebre bo/pebre covent) to be also added as condiments. I personally like a little bit of heat on the aftertaste. Using the same dough, you can also make cocarrois, which are like individual circles of dough folded and stuffed with cauliflowers, chards, onions, raisins, and pine nuts.
Hola Tomeu! I share my family recipes in English, French, Spanish & Arabic, so they definitely reach many readers around the world 😉 I shared recently my vegan version of cocarrois, there I mentioned that you could add a bit of paprika optionally 🙂 Here you have it in case you’d like to have a look at it: https://www.tastymediterraneo.com/es/cocarrois-empanadas-mallorquinas-de-semana-santa/ Bon profit!
I SAW A PROGRAM AND THE CHEF USED LARD IN THIS RECIPE. ARE YOU ABLE TO DO THIS AND WHAT INGREDIENT WOULD YOU REMOVE
Hi Mellisha, to make the dough for the coca some people from Majorca island would use lard instead of olive oil, but I have always made it with olive oil since it is lighter and healthier, plus I am vegetarian. I would not be able to tell you the amount of lard you would have to use to make the dough. I hope you enjoy the coca de trampó no matter if you use lard or olive oil for the crust! 🙂
The original is with lard. Lard fell out of favour due to unfunded health concerns (of course olive oil is a fountain of wellbeing, but a good dollop of lard is part of a well-balanced diet). Now the health mith has been debunked; still it may be considered controversial because of the prejudice of Moslem, vegans and practising Jews.
Hi Aldo, you are right, my grandmother used to make it with lard, but as I said to Mellisha it’s lighter and healthier with olive oil 😉 But if you want to use lard go ahead 🙂 Enjoy and happy healthy cooking!
I tried this today and it came out amazing. Thank you for another wonderful recipe!
Hi Gabriella, I’m very happy to know you enjoy my recipes 🙂 Have a nice week!
Harry is having fun! I loved it – I am sure your tomatoes must be better then the ones I got at the supermarket but this recipe is great! Thanks, Margaret.
Hi Margaret 🙂 We have the same name, only I have the Spanish version of it 😉 I am very glad to know that you enjoyed this recipe. Try with on the vine tomatoes next time, that’s the variety I used for this recipe. Cheers!
Fantastic! I loved it and I really dig the Trampo juice – added to my favorite drinks. Next time, I am drinking it with Vodka!
Thanks Harry 🙂 I’m very glad to learn that you found such an interesting use for the Trampo juice! It is full of vitamins!
