Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C.
  • Roast chopped peppers and sweet potatoes in olive oil for 20-30 minutes.
  • Simmer basmati rice with lemon zest, turmeric, bay leaves, and vegetable bouillon for 15 minutes.
  • Rub cold butter into flour and salt to create a breadcrumb texture.
  • Mix in eggs, water, and lemon juice to form a smooth pastry dough.
  • Chill the dough in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  • Boil asparagus until tender and cool in cold water.
  • Sauté shallots and garlic then stir into the cooked rice with pine nuts.
  • Cook beetroot with sugar and balsamic vinegar until tender.
  • Toss asparagus with herbs, lemon juice, oil, and white wine vinegar.
  • Coat rainbow trout fillets with a mixture of butter, garlic, zest, and herbs.
  • Line a loaf tin with foil and parchment and preheat oven to 180°C.
  • Roll out half the pastry and line the tin, leaving an overhang.
  • Layer rice, peppers, trout, smoked trout, asparagus, beetroot, and sweet potato into the tin.
  • Cover with a pastry lid, seal the edges, and decorate with trimmings.
  • Bake for 50 minutes until golden-brown.
  • Whisk egg yolk, saffron, mustard, and lemon juice while slowly adding oils to make mayonnaise.
  • Serve the pie hot with the salad and chilled mayonnaise.
