recipe: Tuna & Potato Pie

This recipe is great for several reasons: serves 6, its dead easy, low fat,really healthy and yummy. So get your butts out in the kitchen and start cookin.

Serves 6:
4 small cans tuna in spring water drained, 10 medium potatoes, 2 tsp olive oil, 1x400g can diced tomatoes, 1 1/2 red capsicum diced, 1 onion sliced, 2 garlic cloves crushed, chopped parsley, 1 egg yolk, salt and pepper to taste

1. Boil potatoes until they are soft. Reserve, peel and mash - I used skim milk and a bit of butter for the mash, but you are free to use your own recipe - seasoning with salt;
2. Pre heat your oven to 180C;
3. In a sauce pan heat olive oil. Add garlic and onion and cook until soft;
4. Add red capsicum and cook for another 5 minutes; Add diced tomatoes, tuna and stir to combine. Simmer for about 10 minutes, add chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper - you might need some water if your sauce is too thick.
5. In a large oven proof dish, place tuna sauce. Top with mashed potatoes. Whisk your egg yolk and brush over mashed potato layer. Bake for about 25 minutes or until you get a golden colour all over.

Serve with a nice salad and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
