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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and garlic, and grate the carrot.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the grated carrot and frozen peas, and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the vegetables.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the tuna filling.

Step 9

Place the second puff pastry sheet over the filling, aligning it with the bottom sheet. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.

Step 10

Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg, and cut 2-3 small slits in the top for steam to escape.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and flaky.

Step 12

Allow to cool slightly, then slice and serve warm. Enjoy your curried tuna slice!
