“Pepper Pie”

• I got this recipe from my sister who lives in Manchester.
• Her daughter, who visits her, often usually makes this for lunch as it is so easy.
• It is a tinned tuna & pepper tart, rather like a quiche but without any cheese.
• They have named it “pepper pie”.

INGREDIENTS

• Shortcrust pastry
• 1 tin of tuna drained – forked apart
• ½ a red pepper chopped
• 150 ml of Greek style yogurt (like 1 small carton)
• 1 egg
• Salt and pepper to taste

METHOD

• Per-heat the oven to GM 5 GM 190°C.
• Grease a loose bottom tart tin – 18/19cm in diameter.
• Roll out the pastry thinly and line the tin.
• Put the pepper on the base of the tart tin.
• Add the tinned tuna.
• Mix the yoghurt and the egg.
• Pour this over the tuna and pepper.
• Season to taste.
• Bake in the oven for around 30 minutes.

Option – blanche and dry the pepper first.
