How to make tuna pie STEP BY STEP (Galician empanada type recipe)
Ingredients
- 1 puff pastry
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 small tomato
- 1 tbsp. tomato puree
- 2 cans of tuna
- 1 small potato
- 1 pinch of oregano
- 2 eggs
- Olives (optional)
- Sesame seeds
- Salt, pepper and oil.
Step by Step
- Chop onionhe morron and the garlic and sauté them in oil. I like them in large pieces, so that they are noticeable in the cake, but they can be finely chopped.
- Add, when the onion is transparent, the tomato chopped fresh and cook until it turns a dark red color.
- And here comes the secret from the aunt: for the tuna cake to come out tall, spongy and consistent, you have to add a grated potato. It is done as follows: grate the potato with a fine grater and add it to the sauce. Stir it for a minute until it integrates, no more is necessary.
- Add to this preparation the tuna and stir until integrated. Also add the tablespoon of mashed potatoes of tomatoes.
- Incorporate the eggs shakes and season. Add the oregano (very little).
- Add, if desired, the olives chopped.
- Place everything in a small pan. The cake will come out high.
- Close the edges and rain with seeds of sesame above.
- Bake in a strong oven until the puff pastry looks golden. Ready! You already have your tuna cake.
