Italian Tuna Pie

Ingredients:
  • 225-250 gram of boneless, skinless tuna fish (that is: about ½ pound drained weight, not the
    weight of the can). Use 1-2 cans of tuna in water, not in oil.
  • 100 gram grated cheese (not hard/dry cheese such Parmesan, which does not melt well; Frank
    uses Gruyere)
  • 25-50 gram grated cheese
  • 50 gram bread crumbs (dried)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 table spoons Italian herbs (mix of marjoram, thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano, basil)
  • 10-12 black olives, chopped
  • 1 grated onion
  • 4 rounded tablespoons tomato ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic (or 1 rounded teaspoon of ground garlic)
  • salt & pepper
Instructions:

  • in a bowl, mash the tuna into small pieces
  • add all the other ingredients (except the 25-50 gram grated cheese), and mix well
  • press into quiche pan (a pan of 18 cm diameter and 6-8 cm high is fine)
  • sprinkle the 25-50 gram cheese on top
  • pre-heat oven to 180 °C (375 °F)
  • bake for 30-40 min
  • can also be made in personal-size ramekins, instead of one pan
