Description
This pie is very tasty when hot, but it is simply divine when cold! Therefore, I highly recommend waiting for it to cool down. Enjoy your meal!
Ingredients
- Wheat Flour - 10.6 oz
- Butter - 7.1 oz
- Chicken Egg - 1 piece
- Salt - a pinch
- Rice - 1 cup
- Onion - 2 lbs
- Canned cod liver - 2 cans
- Pickled Chanterelles - 17.6 oz
- Mayonnaise - 1.8 oz
Step by Step guide
Step 1
First, let's prepare the dough. Pour 300 g of flour into a mound on the table, sprinkle with salt (a little less than a teaspoon). Add a pack of butter (not too cold) and chop-mix with the flour using a knife until it resembles a uniform fine crumb.
Step 2
Gather the mound, make a well in the center, and crack in 1 egg. Knead the dough. Be careful, the raw egg may roll down at first, so take your time.
Step 3
Divide the dough into two parts, one of which should be 1/3 of the total amount, and the other 2/3. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
Step 4
Next, prepare the filling. Clean and finely chop 1 kg of onion. Fry in a sufficient amount of vegetable oil until very golden.
Step 5
While the onion is frying, rinse and boil 1 cup of rice. Add a little salt while cooking. Cook until done. When the rice is ready, remove from heat, pour in 1 cup of cold water, and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Then rinse, place in a bowl, and set aside.
Step 6
Thoroughly mash 2 cans of canned fish with a fork, including the juice.
Step 7
Slice the mushrooms and fry them in vegetable oil until half-cooked.
Step 8
Take the dough out of the refrigerator. Roll out 2/3 of the larger portion into a thin layer in a circle, so that its diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the baking pan (the pan should be removable!). There is no need to grease it with oil, as the dough is fatty by itself. Place our 'pancake' on the bottom of the pan, pressing the edges well. Roll out strips from the remaining dough and attach them as the sides.
Step 9
Layer the filling: first the rice, then the onion (it is advisable to squeeze out the excess oil by placing it on a paper towel for a minute), then the fish, followed by the mushrooms. Spread mayonnaise evenly on top.
Step 10
From the remaining second part of the dough (the one that was 1/3 of the total amount), make the top decorations. Roll it out into 8 equal strips, each the length of the radius of your pan. Cut each strip on both sides with a knife and arrange them symmetrically on the pie. Use a few more strips, cut on one side, to frame the pie around the edge. Pinch their edges together with the sides. In the center, you can make a flower, and decorate the gaps with thin slices of tomato. But the decoration of the pie can be absolutely anything; there are no limits to your creativity and imagination.
Step 11
Place the pie in a very hot oven (about 482°F) for 10–12 minutes, then reduce to 170–356°F and bake until the dough is golden brown (30–40 minutes). The filling consists mainly of ready-made products, so the main thing is for the dough to bake.
