Tuna pie canned from puff pastry: recipe

The benefits of seafood are known to everyone, there are a lot of protein, useful micro- and macro elements, a minimum of fat, and if it is present, it is only useful for humans. One of the excellent examples of the fact that their seafood benefits do not practically lose during conservation are tuna. This fish has much to taste, it can be used as an independent dish, and as a constituent ingredient in salads and pastries. Today we offer you a tuna pie, the variety of which is huge, recipes are divided according to the types of dough and filling.

Whichever of the existing recipes has been chosen, it is delicious in its own way. We chose the two most popular and easy-to-prepare options: a pie with canned tuna made from puff pastry and a puff pastry cake with potatoes added to the filling.

First, imagine the recipe for puff cake.

Ingredients for puff pastry

This type of test - one of the most loved and common, but not all the mistresses know how to do it. Most prefer to buy ready-made dough in cooking or in shops. A pie with canned tuna from a ready-made puff pastry is also quite good for taste, but still a little inferior to that which is completely cooked at home.

And if the reader who reads this article decided to do it himself, then here you are, please, the recipe.

You will need to stock up:

• Butter (50 grams);
• Vegetable oil (olive or sunflower - 50 grams);
• Beer (one hundred milliliters);
• Flour (preferably sifted - 300 grams);
• Salt (a little - about five grams).

Mix the dough

In order for the flaky dough to please a special crunchy texture, during its preparation you need to add two kinds of oils.

We take capacious dishes with high sides, a bowl will perfectly suit. We pour in it a vegetable oil, and also we put creamy, slightly softened.

In a mixture of oils pour cold beer, add salt.

We stir and gradually pour the flour. Thoroughly mix everything, and when a dense lump forms, then we spread it on the table, which must first be sprinkled with flour.

Begin to knead the dough with your hands, if necessary, pour a little flour. For this test, you may need less or more flour than indicated in the recipe. To go in cycles with numbers is not necessary, the main criterion of a ready test is its obedience and easy lag from the palms.

Place the dough in the refrigerator for about twenty minutes. And during this time, calmly prepare the filling for a tart with canned tuna.

Ingredients for filling

And it will not only consist of fish, since such a tuna pie will have a boring taste. We dilute it with eggs, onions, bell peppers and tomato sauce, which perfectly combine and complement each other's taste.

For the filling you need to have:

• Canned tuna (it is better to take in your own juice, and not in vegetable oil - 300 grams);
• Onion (half a kilo);
• Eggs (2 pieces cooked in a steep);
• Bulgarian pepper (one, medium size);
• Tomato sauce (100 milliliters);
• vegetable oil;
• salt.

Cooking stuffing

Onion is cleaned and finely chopped, then it should be fried in vegetable oil until golden brown.

Pepper finely chopped, then there are two options to choose from - the pepper can be fresh or canned. Fresh peppers are added to the frying pan at the same time as onion, and canned - when the onion becomes soft.

Next, open the jar of tuna and drain the excess liquid - it's easier to do by flipping the contents of the can to the colander.

Add the tuna to the onions and peppers on the pan, then peeled the finely chopped eggs.

All this fry for a couple of minutes, and then add a little tomato sauce. We extinguish all this for about three to four minutes and leave it to cool.

Making a cake with tuna

Beforehand, you need to turn on the oven with the temperature set at about 175 degrees.

Lubricate the pan with vegetable or butter, a good option is parchment paper, which needs to cover the surface of the baking dish.

We take the cooled dough from the refrigerator and divide it into two equal parts. You will get one big pie, you can, of course, make a few small ones, but they will take more time and energy to prepare them.

One part is rolled out on the table in order to purchase a baking dish (a circle or a rectangle, depending on which kind of pan you have).

We transfer the dough to the baking tray, if the area of the rolled dough is larger than its area, then it is necessary to cut off the excess with a knife.

To successfully cook a tuna pie, you need to evenly distribute the filling throughout the surface of the dough, while leaving a little space from the edges. This is done to prevent the contents from escaping.

The next stage of preparation is the rolling and transfer of the second layer of the filling test. It should be noted that the first and second pieces of dough should be approximately the same size and not go beyond the edge of the baking dish. Otherwise, the remains can be removed with a knife.

After this, you need to carefully tear the cake with tuna all around its perimeter, do it better with your hands, so it will be more reliable. The edge should be well connected and slightly up. This is to ensure that the juice from the pie can not flow.

Those extra pieces of dough that were cut off are perfect for decorating a pie. Also, make the egg yolk of its surface more attractive to this dish.

It remains only to bake a cake. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven for about forty minutes.

When it will be seen that the top layer of the cake has become rosy, and a pleasant aroma will go through the kitchen, you can check it for availability with a toothpick or match. If there is no dough left on piercing, the baking is ready.

Pie with canned tuna and potatoes

The second type of pie differs from the previous filling composition and type of dough. In this recipe, it is pouring, and the stuffing will also include potatoes.

To prepare the test, you will need:

• Eggs (three pieces, preferably fresh);
• Kefir (one glass of fat);
• Flour (one glass, it is better to sift it);
• Soda (half a teaspoon);
• Salt (to taste).

Ingredients for filling

The filling for this pie will be more nutritious at the expense of the potato that is included in its composition.

To prepare it you will need:

• Potatoes (medium size - four pieces);
• Canned tuna (three hundred grams, it is desirable to choose quality and in its own juice);
• Bulb (one medium size);
• Salt, pepper (add to taste).

Method of pie

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Prepare a baking dish, it's better to have it with high beads, grease it with butter or vegetable oil.

Peel the onion and potatoes, cut the onions into thin slices, and potatoes into slices. All this pepper and salt.

At the bottom of the form we spread potatoes and onions, evenly add fish.

Next, prepare the dough, for this you need to mix all the ingredients with a blender. This ensures that the test will not have lumps that are absolutely not desirable. Prepared dough pour into the mold and evenly distribute it.

Place the pie in the oven for twenty minutes, after the set time, check the pie for readiness with a match or toothpick. If they do not catch dough, then the dish is ready.

We take it from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. As an addition to the pie, sour cream with finely chopped herbs (dill, parsley) or mayonnaise can go, also some lovers eat this dish with tartar sauce.

There are many options for how to make a cake with canned tuna - on yogurt, on mayonnaise and sour cream, with the addition of fried vegetables or vegetables in fresh form.
