TUNA PUFF

adapted from :    anncoojournal.com

These delicious tuna puffs can be prepared early and stored in the freezer.  They can be baked as and when required and believe me they can be gone in no time.

Ingredients :

1  can  tuna in olive oil

1  pip  shallot  ~  chopped  (optional)

1  hard  boiled egg  ~  chopped

2-3  tbsp.  mayonnaise or to taste

1  tbsp.  lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

1  packed frozen  puff pastry  ~  thaw pastry in the chiller for a few hours before use, only need 2 large sheets.

Instructions :

1.  Mix all the ingredients in a bowl (except puff pastry) together and set aside.

2.  Place puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured table top and use a pizza cutter to cut pastry sheet into 4 equal sheets.

3.  Put tuna filling (about 2 tablespoons) on pastry sheet leaving enough border so that it can be folded over and sealed.

4.  Eggwash the border and fold the edges together.  Then use fork press down the edges to seal the border.  Place the tuna puffs on a lined baking tray and eggwash the tops of each puff and sprinkle some white sesame seeds on top.

5.  Bake in preheated oven at 200'C for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
