Perfect Tuna And Sweetcorn Pies Food

TUNA AND CORN PIES

Steps:

• Cut 4 each 10cm circles from each pastry sheet.
• Place pastry circles into a greased 12 cup medium muffin tin.
• Combine creamed corn, eggs, chives and sour cream and season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon mixture into pastry cases and sprinkle with cheese.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 200ºC for 20-25 minutes.

TUNA AND SWEETCORN PASTIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line two baking trays with baking paper. Drain the tuna and mix with the corn and the sauce. Season with pepper - you probably won't need salt.
• Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to the thickness of a 2p coin. Cut out 11cm rounds. Re-roll the pastry trimmings and cut out more rounds.
• Brush one round with the egg, put 1 heaped tsp of the tuna mixture in the middle. Fold over the pastry to make a turnover and press the edges together to seal. Repeat until all the tuna is used up.
• Put on the baking trays and brush with egg. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden.

TUNA & SWEETCORN FISH CAKES

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until really tender. Drain and allow to steam-dry in a colander. Tip into a bowl, season and mash. Stir in the mayonnaise, tuna, sweetcorn and chives or parsley. Shape into 4 cakes and chill until cold and firm.
• Dip each cake into the egg, letting the excess drip off, then coat in the breadcrumbs. Chill for 15 mins.
• Heat a little of the oil in a pan and gently fry the cakes for 2-3 mins on each side until golden. You may need to do this in batches - keep warm in a low oven. Serve with extra mayonnaise and salad leaves.

EASY WEEKNIGHT TUNA POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft and translucent. Mix in the tuna and frozen vegetables, stirring often until the vegetables are heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup. Pour the tuna mixture into a 9 inch pie dish and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
• Unroll and separate the crescent rolls. Lay each crescent roll on top of the tuna mixture with the point facing inward, the rolls may overlap slightly. Bake until crescent rolls are golden brown and mixture is bubbly, 11 to 13 minutes. Let the pie sit for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

TUNA & SWEETCORN SLICE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/ gas 7. Lay the pastry out on a baking sheet. Pinch up the edges to form a border, pressing firmly into the corners. Prick the centre all over with a fork and pop in the oven for 10-15 mins.
• Meanwhile, mix the tuna and sweetcorn in a bowl and season.
• Remove the pastry from the oven, pressing the centre down with the back of a fork, as it will have puffed up a bit. Spread the crème fraîche across centre, spoon the tuna mix on top, then sprinkle over the cheese. Bake for 10-15 mins more, until golden, puffed up and cooked though. Sprinkle with chives and cut into quarters.

TUNA, SPRING ONION & SWEETCORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Mix the milk and eggs together in a jug with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp ground black pepper. Sift the flour into a bowl, make a well in the centre and pour in the egg mixture in a thin, steady stream, whisking well until combined. Stir in the sweetcorn, spring onions, lemon zest and tuna.
• Heat a drop of oil in a non-stick or cast iron frying pan over a medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan and cook until crisp and golden, about 2-3 mins, flip and repeat on the other side (you'll need to do this in batches). Keep warm in a low oven and repeat with the remaining batter.
• Serve the hot fritters with the lemon wedges for squeezing over, the soured cream and hot sauce, if using.
