Techniques used
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan assisted) Gas Mark 6. Unroll the pastry sheet onto a baking sheet.
- Spoon the rice down the middle third of the pastry. Flake over the salmon, dot over the olives and pepper. Scatter over the parsley and sundried tomatoes, then finally, season.
- Brush the pastry around the filling with some egg, then trim a square of pastry from each corner and discard. Use a knife to slice the two long sides into strips, fanning out from the filling. Fold the top and bottom ends of pastry over the filling, then alternate criss-crossing over the pastry strips to weave a plait over the top of the pie.
- Brush all over with more egg and bake for 25 minutes until golden, puffed and piping hot in the centre. Slice and serve with the lemon wedges.
