The traditional recipe for this pie includes chicken, rice , mushrooms and a chicken broth in a pastry dome. I adapted it with fish and just a cover of pastry - less fiddly and tasted great. Easy to assemble if you have all the filling ingredients ready beforehand to layer.

Steps

30-40 minutes

1

Melt the butter in a pan and cook the mushrooms and onion until soft. Cook the rice. Poach the salmon pieces.
2

Peel and chop the hard boiled eggs and mix with the chopped dill and chives. Make the white sauce or open mushroom soup.
3

Roll out the puff pastry to the shape of your oven proof container - it needs to be quite deep so I used a casserole dish,minus the lid.
4

Start layering the pie by adding the egg mixture, then the mushroom/onion mix, white sauce, salmon and prawns and finally the rice/peas.
5

Season with salt and pepper
6

Cover with the pastry sheet and crimp edges. Brush with beaten egg or milk.
7

Bake in the oven at 180 degrees centigrade for 30-40 minutes. The pastry should be golden brown.
8

Cool slightly and serve with salad greens.
