Heather’s Tuna Impossible Pie

Portion Of Impossible Pie

Impossible Tuna Pie!

I love the impossible pie! I have a dessert Impossible Pie recipe that my Mother shared – and now I have been recommended a savoury recipe with Tuna. The delight of this recipe is that you just mix all the ingredients together in one bowl and put it in a baking dish, the off it goes into the oven – and out pops a pie!

Easy And Cheap Tuna Recipe

A reader of my blog, Heather, passed on this recipe given in response to my request for easy and frugal meal ideas. It is certainly easy and the total cost of the pie is about £3.50 depending on which tuna you buy. The dish serves four people.

The original recipe asked for 425g but I made it with 2 x 185g cans of tuna. You can get won brand tuna from Sainsburys or Tescos for 185g in their basics/value range.

This dish takes about 5 minutes to prepare and then you can pop it in the oven for 45 minutes. Why not serve with a baked potato – or potato wedges – which you can also put in the oven at the same time and a green vegetable.

American Cups And Weights

The recipe was also given to me in Australian Cups – so I will leave it in the original and add my interpretation of the quantities – which worked well.

I might say here that I can find American Cups a little difficult to work with but I know that I am just more used to working with weight than with volume. I know well that American cooks can find our weights system confusing as we tend to use both grams and ounces – and we use volume measurements as well for liquids.

Making The Pie

When the pie is mixed, it is quite liquid so don’t be put off by that. Just pour it into a well greased baking dosh and put it in a pre-heated oven
