Thrifty Meals: Tuna and Vegetable Pie

 

Last week I posted the recipe for Roast Tomato and Olive Pasta - which people seemed to really like. So I thought, while I'm rubbing the weekend out of my eyes and gearing up for another busy week, that I would re-post this recipe from my old blog.

Tonight’s dinner is actually a “kids” dinner, but Sparky and I dig it too, so it’s win-win!

You’ll need:

2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed

large tin tuna, flaked and drained

1+ cup of grated cheese

1 onion, finely diced 

1+ cups frozen veges (I use peas, carrots and corn)

OR tin corn kernels, drained

1 egg, lightly beaten

1. Combine tuna, onion, veges and cheese in a bowl.
2. Put one sheet of pastry in the bottom of a greased baking dish, and fill with the tuna mix.
3. Season if you’d like, then place the second sheet of pastry over the top, pinching/tucking it into the side of the dish, to get a fairly good seal.
4. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg and put into a preheated oven (200C) for around 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden and flaky and the filling is bubbling away.

We have ours with steamed veges, but it would be yummo with homemade chips, baked sweet potato or salad too.
