Rice and Salmon Pie

"From the Australian Table magazine May 2007 edition. They state - Known in its native Russia as koulibiac, this filling dish may also be made with brioche dough instead of puff pastry. This pie is great served with light sour cream, flavoured with a little dill and a squeeze of lemon. Preparation times are estimated and cooking of rice not included, chill time included in passive time."

  1. I made this for DH's dinner. He said that he didn't really care for it. Sorry...
     
  2. Excellent. I never used tinned salmon like this before. It was delicate in this dish. I absolutely loved the HB egg inside. What a lovely surprise when you cut the pie. I made only two pies, so the recipe halves perfectly. I made a roux with green peas and tarragon to finish the dish. Great recipe ChefPotts.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
