Tuna Plait Recipes

TUNA PATTIES

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients.
• Use more or less breadcrumbs, as needed, to soak up the moisture from the tuna and egg until it is the consistency of a "patty" (I'm sorry I can not explain this better!).
• Make into patties 1/2 inch thick.
• Sprinkle both sides of patties with pepper, and pat it inches.
• Warm up oil and butter in a pan over medium heat, enough so it's hot enough to cook but not burn. You know how your own burners work.
• Fry until golden brown, and flip to cook the other side.

TUNA PATTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the tuna, egg, bread crumbs, onion, celery, red pepper, mayonnaise, chili sauce and seasonings; mix well. Shape into four patties (mixture will be soft). , Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray; fry patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Serve on buns with tomato and lettuce if desired.

SAUSAGE PLAIT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Grease a baking tray with oil using a pastry brush, then cover it with baking parchment. Put to one side. Remove the meat from the sausage skins by snipping off the ends, then squeezing the sausagemeat into a bowl (see step 1).
• Cut the pepper into small pieces with scissors. Break the egg into the cup, beat with a fork, and save 2 tbsp for glazing. Add the red pepper and remaining egg to the sausagemeat with the chilli flakes, if using, and purée. Mix well with a fork or clean hands (step 2).
• Sprinkle some flour on the work surface. Using a rolling pin, roll out the pastry into a rough square shape, about 30 x 30cm. Put the pastry on the lined baking tray (step 3).
• Now spoon the filling down the middle of the pastry in a sausage shape - leave a little gap at the top and bottom (about 3cm) (step 4).
• Cut the pastry at a slight diagonal, on either side of the filling, into 1.5cm strips, the same number each side - we cut 12 strips each side. Brush the pastry all over with most of the saved egg (step 5).
• Tuck the top and bottom edges of the pastry over the filling. Starting at the top, lay the pastry strips over the filling, taking one from each side, to cross like a plait. Now brush the top all over with the last of the egg. Bake for 35-40 mins or until golden. Serve hot or cold with baked beans or salad (step 6).

TUNA PLAIT

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 425°F
• Place the tuna in a bowl and add celery, red pepper, mayonnaise, half the beaten egg, lemon pepper and chives, mix carefully.
• Roll out pastry to an oblong measuring approx 14 x 12in. Transfer to a baking tray.
• Spread the filling lengthwise down the centre third of the pastry. Cut horizontal, 1in width strips down each side of the pastry to within 1in of the filling.
• Fold the end pieces of pastry over filling and lift strips of pastry over the filling from alternate sides to form a plaited effect.
• Brush with remaining beaten egg. Cook in the oven for 25 minutes until golden.

TUNA SPINACH BRAID

Spread filling down center of dough lengthwise in a 3-1/2-in. strip. Top with mozzarella cheese., On each long side, cut 1-in.-wide strips almost to edge of filling. Starting at 1 end, fold alternating strips at an angle across filling; pinch ends to seal. Combine egg with water and brush over top. Bake at 375° for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
