The green cake that is prepared in Oneglia (one of the two cities that make up Imperia) is a poor relative of the Genoese torta pasqualina, but it is so deeply rooted in the tradition of the families of Oneglia that you will definitely taste it if you pass by. And I challenge you not to! Torta verde is a savory pie filled with a mixture of vegetables (usually chard, but also artichokes, peas or borage) and (sometimes, the recipe varies from family to family) rice or eggs.
