This is a savoury tart with surprise. In fact salami is hidden under the zucchini (courgettes).
Sauté the zucchini (courgettes) in the olive oil on medium heat together with the onion, aromatic herbs and a pinch of salt, stirring frequently. Use a non-stick frying pan. Let the zucchini (courgettes) cool and then add more than half the mozzarella cheese. Stir very well.
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Put the pie crust on a baking sheet. Use the paper of the package, on the contrary you have to oil the baking sheet.
Spread the fresh salami on the bottom. Then spoon the zucchini (courgettes) uniformly. Level the surface, refold the excess of dough over the surface and cook for about 15-20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, sprinkle the surface with the remaining mozzarella cheese and bake for other 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.
Serve warm.
