Creamy Tuna Tart

Submitted by Tisme

"As my DS does not like Tuna, I take any chance to try something different when he is not home and usually want something that is quick and so easy. Ahh well, when the kids are away....lol ;-) Found this recipe from Kraft, and it works quite well with salad & I think would work really well in winter with vegetables...... although I think a nice salsa or sauce would go really well with it also. Which I will add next time."

As we don't really care for tuna I used tinned red salmon and halved the recipe for 3 of us (have one slice left over which the DM has already claimed), had to use some dry parsley as my fresh from the garden was rather shrivelled after our last heat burst of weather, but otherwise made as per recipe and the surprise factor was the DM, usually with pastry dishes she picks out the filling and eats the pastry first but tonight the filling vanished first and then the lovely crisp pastry. Thank you Tisme, made for Make My Recipe - Summer Edition.
