Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Fry onion, garlic, potatoes and carrots in oil for 5 mins until softening. Add peppers, paprika, herbs and tomato purée, and cook for 5 mins.
  2. Add stock, bring to the boil, then simmer until stock is absorbed and vegetables are tender. Add the tuna.
  3. Roll a quarter of the pastry into a 22cm circle. Roll remaining pastry to line a 22cm loose-bottomed tin, allowing the pastry to come over the edges of the tin.
  4. Fill with the tuna mix and top with the pie lid. Brush the edges with egg then fold over the sides and press down with a fork to seal. Make two holes in the top, brush with egg and bake for 35-40 mins until golden brown. Leave to cool slightly, then serve.

    Took ages for me to make this (maybe lack of preperation was to blame). I was so fed up with it by the time I got it in the oven, I used the leftover pastry to spell out 'worst pie ever' on the top.

    I travelled to south america and empanadas were often consumed. Although not a typical filling of Mexican and/or south american cuisine, the actual empanada recipe really does it justice! I thought it tased really good and was difficult to have just one slice of. A good way to get the family to have tuna too! they all thoroughly enjoyed it. We had it with a side of home made mushy peas - for some reason it went really well

    Was nice but the smoked paprika is rather hot for my smaller children so I'd suggest if you're making it for kids too, reduce that by about half.

    Maybe it's me... but although this pie is fairly tasty, I'm a bit disappointed with the end result. Use this website all the time and, in all honesty, have found more simple recipes that are a lot more delicious.

    Can't believe more people have not tried this, it's so tasty. Just takes a little long.

    It takes a little while to do the first part, but it's really worth it.
