Method

step 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.
step 2

Add stock, bring to the boil, then simmer until stock is absorbed and vegetables are tender. Add the tuna.
step 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.
step 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.
