Ingredients
- 2 x 110g packs Salmon Flakes
- 200g Long Grain Rice
- 1 Egg
- 100g Spinach, washed
- 375g Ready Rolled Puff Pastry
- 2 tsp Sunflower Oil
- 1 Garlic Clove, crushed
- 150g Kale, washed
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6 and remove the pastry from the refrigerator and allow to stand for 10 minutes before unrolling.
- Cook the rice in boiling water until just done, but still firm, and drain.
- Hard boil the egg, then shell and chop.
- Wilt the spinach in a lidded pan using just the water that remains on the leaves after washing (squeeze any excess water from the spinach).
- Stir the salmon flakes into the rice with the chopped hard-boiled egg and some seasoning to taste.
- Unroll the pastry, cut into 2 – one piece slightly larger for the lid.
- Place the smaller base piece on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
- Place half the rice and salmon mixture onto the pastry, leaving a clear border.
- Add a layer of spinach and the remaining rice mixture, pressing the mixture down to help hold it together.
- Brush the border with a little milk then cover with the remaining pastry.
- Use a fork to press down and seal the edges, then make a couple of slashes in the top.
- Brush all over with milk then cook in the centre of the oven for around 30 minutes until risen and golden brown.
- In the meantime, prepare the kale by heating the oil in a large pan, add the garlic and saute for a few seconds.
- Add the kale and cook over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until just tender.
