Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry sheets
- 300 grams canned tuna in water
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium carrot
- 100 grams frozen peas
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 grams cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Finely chop the onion and garlic, and grate the carrot.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the grated carrot and frozen peas, and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the vegetables.
Drain the canned tuna and add it to the skillet. Stir to combine all ingredients. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Roll out one sheet of puff pastry onto the prepared baking tray. Spread the tuna mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a 2 cm (1 inch) border around the edges.
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the tuna filling.
Place the second puff pastry sheet over the filling, aligning it with the bottom sheet. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.
Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg, and cut 2-3 small slits in the top for steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and flaky.
Allow to cool slightly, then slice and serve warm. Enjoy your curried tuna slice!
