Instructions
First, mix the gelatin with sparkling mineral water at room temperature. Now add all the spices to this mixture.
Mix the two kinds of minced meat with egg yolks and one whole egg and then add the gelatine mixture. Crumble the feta cheese with your hands and add it to the meat. Mix well to unify.
Place the meat mixture between two parchment papers and roll it out to create a thin crust. It should be approximately 5mm (0.2-inch) thin.
Bake the crust in the oven for 10 minutes at 200ºC (400ºF)
Prepare the red sauce by mixing warm water with gelatine and 3 egg yolks. Now add red paprika powder and sea salt. Spread this sauce all over the half baked crust.
Cut mozzarella into very thin slices and place on top of the sauce. Top with thin slices of dried meats. (alternatively, add chopped hot pepper and grated aged cheese and some oregano on top)
Bake for another 10 minutes but turn your oven to roasting option so that the cheese melts and turns golden brown. It's equally delicious to consume it hot or cold.
