Method

  1. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Unroll the puff pastry onto a large baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Score a 1cm border around the edges with a sharp knife, taking care not to cut through the pastry. Prick the area inside the border with a fork. Bake for 15 mins.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in frying pan and fry the courgettes until tender and the mixture is quite dry. Allow to cool a little before mixing with the soft cheese.
  3. Remove the pastry base from the oven and press down any puffed up areas, within the border, with the back of a spoon. Spread over the courgette mixture. Scatter with tuna, lay over the pepper strips and sprinkle on capers. Finally dot with olives and bake for a further 15 mins until the pastry is golden, puffed up and cooked though.

    Great recipe to use up courgettes from the garden using store cupboard ingredients. Good hot or cold for a picnic.

    I wasn't sure about the combo of ingredients in this recipe but it was actually rather tasty, used red onion instead of courgettes as the hubby doesn't like them. Will definitely make again.

    Lovely tasty tart, didnt have olives or peppers so put some sauted sliced mushrooms on the top instead. Next time I think i'd put a bit of lemon zest in to add a bit of freshness and lift. I'll def make again

    Great combo of flavours. I ended up using all that topping on a single 20x20 cm pastry sheet and it was quite intense, will spread it out over two sheets next time. Served it with a simple salad, a great standby dinner recipe.

    I cooked this last night and loved it! To be honest, I wasn't too sure about it and we don't like olives so I left them off. I added lemon juice to the tuna and normal ground pepper. Wonderful dish. Will be having again.
