TUNA PIE



Tuna Pie image

This is a change from the traditional tuna casserole. The cheese-flavored crust is similar in texture to a graham cracker crust, perhaps a bit firmer, with a slightly crunchy crumb topping, and the tuna filling is somewhat like a quiche flavored with sour cream and dill. I got the recipe from an old Penzey's catalogue. See the bottom of the recipe for a suggestion on making a smaller pie for less servings.

Slowly pour over tuna mixture. Bake for 50 mins or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. If you like it slightly spicy add some Red Pepper Flakes to Mixture.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Tuna: Opt for high-quality canned tuna packed in olive oil or water. Solid white albacore tuna is a popular choice for its mild flavor and firm texture.
  • Prepare the Crust: Use a pre-made pie crust or make your own from scratch using a combination of flour, butter, and water. If using a pre-made crust, trim the edges and crimp them to seal.
  • Cook the Vegetables: Sauté onions, celery, and carrots in butter until softened. This adds flavor and texture to the pie filling.
  • Flake the Tuna: Drain the tuna and flake it with a fork to break it into small pieces. This helps it distribute evenly throughout the filling.
  • Make the Sauce: Create a creamy sauce using a mixture of cream of celery soup, milk, and seasonings. This adds richness and moisture to the pie.
  • Combine the Ingredients: Combine the tuna, vegetables, sauce, and any additional seasonings in a large bowl. Stir until well mixed.
  • Assemble the Pie: Pour the tuna mixture into the prepared pie crust. Top with a second pie crust and crimp the edges to seal.
  • Bake the Pie: Bake the pie in a preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. This usually takes around 35-40 minutes.
  • Let it Cool: Allow the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the filling set and prevents it from becoming too runny.
