4 people, approx. 8–10 pieces Recipe by: Martin Borg

Crispy flatbread with crème fraîche, cold-smoked rainbow trout, pickled red onion and fried capers.

Method

Pickled red onion (at least 30 min ahead, preferably the day before)

  1. Bring the vinegar, sugar and water to the boil until the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Pour the hot brine over the red onion in a jar and leave somewhere cool for at least 30 minutes.

Fried capers

  1. Heat neutral oil to 160 °C in a small, high-sided saucepan.
  2. Fry the capers for approx. 1 minute until they open up and turn crispy. Lift out and drain on kitchen paper.
  3. Safety: dry the capers thoroughly – water in hot oil spatters. Keep a lid close at hand and never use water on an oil fire.

Pizza

  1. Heat the oven to 200 °C (fan). Place the flatbreads on a baking tray lined with baking paper and spread a layer of crème fraîche on each.
  2. Bake in the middle of the oven for 5–7 minutes until the breads are golden and crisp.
  3. Top with cold-smoked rainbow trout, spring onion, pickled red onion, fried capers, lemon zest, a little lemon juice and black pepper.
