Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 ounces each) canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 stalk celery (finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons red onion (finely diced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package (16 ounces, thawed) puff pastry sheets
- 1 large egg (beaten for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, celery, red onion, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
On a clean floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut them into 8 equal squares.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the tuna mixture in the center of each square.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, and press the edges together firmly using the tines of a fork to seal.
Brush the tops of the pockets with the beaten egg using a pastry brush, and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Transfer the tuna pockets onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let the tuna pockets cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your delicious Tuna Pockets warm or at room temperature!
