- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 40 min
- Makes: 1 serving (211 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 40 g Flour, rye
- 30 g Water
- 0.5 g Salt
- 25 g Rice, white, short-grain
- 80 g Milk, whole
- 10 g Butter, unsalted
- 25 g Eggs, whole, raw
Method
- Cook the rice slowly in the milk over low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it forms a thick, sticky porridge; season with a pinch of salt and let cool.
- Mix the rye flour with the water and remaining salt into a firm, smooth dough; divide and roll into thin ovals.
- Spoon the cooled rice porridge onto each oval, leaving a border, then fold and pinch the edges up over the filling to make an open boat shape.
- Bake at 250 °C (480 °F) for 10-15 minutes until the crust is lightly speckled and set, then brush with a little of the melted butter to soften it.
- Hard-boil the egg, chop it finely and mash it with the remaining softened butter to make egg butter (munavoi); serve warm alongside the pasties. Makes 1 serving (2 pasties); multiply for more.
