Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Put the sliced pork in a dish with paprika, 1 Tbs of the chopped garlic, oregano, salt & pepper, & let sit for 30 minutes. Heat the olive oil in a pan & fry the pork very quickly, removing slices as they are browned. In the same oil, saute the chopped peppers, onions & remaining garlic until softened. Add the prepared tomatoes, parsley, salt & pepper & cook until the tomatoes are reduced & the sauce is very thick.
  2. Divide the dough in half. On a floured board, roll out to a thickness of 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Line a pie pan with dough. Spread this with half the prepared sauce. Arrange the slices of pork loin on top & add a layer of pimentos above that. Slice the boiled eggs & layer about other ingredients. Spoon on the remaining sauce.
  3. Roll out the rest of the dough & cover the pie. Crimp the edges together & trim the excess. Make a hole in the center for a steam vent. Put in a medium hot oven, 375 deg, for 30 minutes. Brush the top with beaten egg & bake another 15-20 minutes. The crust should be golden & crispy. Can be served hot or cold.
