Hazırlanışı

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the sides and bottom of a 12 inch spring-form pan, and then sprinkle in 3/4 of the breadcrumbs. Turn the pan from side to side to coat the sides and bottom with the crumbs. Reserve the remaining breadcrumbs for the top. Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed saucepan and add the onion and pancetta and cook until the onion is translucent, and the pancetta is lightly browned. In a separate pan, wilt the spinach over low heat, then squeeze out all excess liquid, chop, and set aside. Add the rice to the onions and toast over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring continually. Add a ladle full of the broth and stir, cooking and adding broth as the rice cooks until it is al dente. Add the spinach to the rice and mix well, then allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Reserving one egg yolk, lightly beat the rest of the eggs, and then stir these into the rice mixture along with the grated cheese and oregano. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Pour the rice mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spoon. Lightly beat the remaining egg yolk and brush it across the top of the torta, then sprinkle on the remaining breadcrumbs. Bake the torta for 55 minutes to an hour until set. While the torta is baking, mix together the topping ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. Serve the torta warm or at room temperature in slices with a scoop of the tomato topping.
