Tuna Melt


INGREDIENTS


1 (6 ounce) can tuna, drained and flaked


2 tablespoons mayonnaise


1 pinch salt


1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar


1 teaspoon Dijon mustard


2 slices whole wheat bread


2 teaspoons chopped dill pickle


1/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese


DIRECTIONS


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place bread slices in the oven to toast while it preheats, and while you make the tuna salad.


In a small bowl, mix together the tuna, mayonnaise, salt, balsamic vinegar, mustard and dill pickle until well blended. Remove bread from the oven, and pile the tuna mixture onto one slice. Sprinkle cheese over the other slice of bread.


Bake for 7 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheese is melted and tuna is heated through. Place the cheese side of the sandwich on top of the tuna side. Cut in half and serve immediately.

For the flan case


5 oz (150 g) wholemeal or plain flour


pinch of salt


4 tablespoons margarine


5 - 6 teaspoons ice-cold water


1 tablespoon wholemeal or plain flour for rolling out the pastry





For the filling


1 teaspoon margarine


1 leek, thinly sliced


1 small green or red pepper, cored, seeded and chopped


3 oz (90 g) drained canned sweetcorn


6 oz (180 g) drained canned tuna, flaked


2 eggs


1/4 pint (150 ml) skimmed milk


1 tablespoon chopped parsley


salt and pepper


1 tomato, sliced








method


1. first of all, make the pastry. Stir the flour and salt together in a bowl.


2. Add the margarine which, if possible, has been stored in the freezer. Rub it into the flour using the tips of your fingers and thumbs until the mixture resembles fresh breadcrumbs.


3. Using a round-bladed knife, mix the cold water into the pastry to form a dough. if time allows, wrap the pastry in foil or clingfilm and chill for 20-30 minutes.


4. Dust the rolling pin and a sheet of non-stick baking parchment with the remaining flour. Roll out the pastry a little larger than the 7 1/2 inch (19 cm) flan ring. Carefully line the flan ring with the pastry, gently pressing it down the sides.


5. Trim the top edge. Lay a piece of baking parchment in the flan, weigh it down with a few dried beans or rice and bake at Gas Mark 6, 200掳C, 400掳F for 10 minutes, then remove the baking parchment and beans and bake for a further 4 - 5 minutes. Remove from the oven.


6. Prepare the filling. Melt the margarine in a pan, add the leek and chopped pepper and stir-fry for 4 - 5 minutes.


7. mix the leek, pepper, sweetcorn and tuna together. lightly beat the eggs and milk together, pour into the tuna mixture and add the parsley and a sprinkling of salt and pepper.


8. Spoon the filling into the baked flan case and return to a preheated oven, Gas Mark 4, 180掳C, 350掳F for 25 - 30 minutes


9. if the flan is to be served hot, arrange the slices of tomato on top and return to the oven for about 3 minutes. if it is to be served cold, remove from the oven, cool and garnish with the tomato before serving.
