Description

This hearty game pie with fresh asparagus is an absolute highlight for special occasions! I especially like to make it in the spring when asparagus is in season. The tender game meat harmonizes wonderfully with the slightly bitter asparagus and the spicy Gorgonzola. The shortcrust pastry is quick to prepare in the Thermomix® and the filling can be wonderfully prepared in advance. So nothing stands in the way of a relaxed brunch or a festive dinner. A hearty treat that is guaranteed to impress!

Then roll out the dough thinly according to the size of the cake tin. Grease the tin with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Place the dough in the tin and prick several times with a fork.

Season with salt and pepper. Then let it cool down.

About this recipe

For me, this game pie with asparagus is more than just a recipe, it is a reminder of joint hunting trips with my father in my youth. The game often comes from self-hunted game, which gives the pie a very special touch. The combination of the earthy game taste, the fresh asparagus and the spicy Gorgonzola is simply unbeatable. The game, preferably from the haunch, forms the basis for the hearty taste. It should be of good quality and ideally come from a hunter you trust. The fine game strips provide a pleasant bite in the pie. The green asparagus, which is in season in spring, contributes a slight bitterness and a crunchy texture. It is briefly roasted so that it retains its bite. The Gorgonzola provides a creamy consistency and a spicy note that harmonizes perfectly with the game. The preparation in the Thermomix® makes the process much easier. Grinding the spelt flour for the shortcrust pastry is effortless and the dough itself is ready in a few minutes. It is important to let the dough rest in the refrigerator for long enough so that it can be rolled out well. When pre-baking the dough, make sure to weigh it down with baking paper and pulses so that it retains its shape. The filling is also prepared in the Thermomix®, which saves time and effort. For a vegetarian version, the game can be replaced with smoked tofu or mushrooms. Instead of Gorgonzola, another blue cheese or feta can also be used. If you like it a little spicier, you can add a pinch of chili powder to the filling. Fresh herbs such as rosemary or sage also go perfectly with the game pie. The game pie tastes both warm and cold. It is ideal as part of a brunch or as an appetizer for a festive dinner. A fresh salad with a light vinaigrette dressing goes well with it. A dry red wine or a cold beer round off the taste experience. The game pie can be prepared well in advance. The shortcrust pastry can be prepared the day before and stored in the refrigerator. The filling can also be prepared and stored in the refrigerator until baking. The finished pie can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days. It can also be easily frozen.
