Step by Step guide

Step 1

For the pastry, mix the flour with a small amount of salt, rub in the butter cut into small cubes. Beat in 1 egg and knead the dough. Add 2 tablespoons of cold water and knead the dough quickly again. Wrap the dough in foil and place it in a cool place for 30 minutes.

Step 2

For the filling, wash the lemongrass stalks, let the liquid drain, and finely chop. Bring to a boil with the cream, cover, and let sit for 15 minutes. Peel the carrots, slice them into thin rounds, and pre-boil in salted water for 6–8 minutes. Strain the cream through a sieve, whip with the sour cream and remaining eggs. Add salt and pepper.

Step 3

Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3–4 mm. Grease a baking dish with butter. Lay the dough in the dish and press it firmly to the bottom.

Step 4

Spread the carrots on top and pour the egg cream over them. Bake in the oven at 320°F (Intensive Baking) on the second level from the bottom for 40–45 minutes. Slightly cool and remove from the dish.

Step 5

Wash the cilantro, dry it, and pluck the leaves. Wash the apples, remove the cores, and slice them thinly, or grate them. Wash the pepperoni, cut in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and finely chop. Mix the ingredients with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Cut the casserole into portions and serve on plates. Top with salad.
