"Quick and easy recipe for a fantastically tasty supper dish - serve with seasonal vegetables."

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs potatoes, peeled
• 2 cups white sauce
• 370 g tuna in vegetable oil
• mature cheddar cheese
• 2 tomatoes, sliced
• salt
• white pepper
• butter
• 2 tablespoons cream

directions

1. Dice the potatoes and bring to the boil in slightly salted water. Boil for 10-15 mins until tender all through. Meanwhile bring the white sauce to a simmer and then add the flaked canned tuna along with half the oil. Bring back to the boil and season to your taste.
2. Drain the potatoes and mash with a good chunk of butter and the cream until you have a nice smooth consistency. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
3. Pour the tuna fish and sauce into a large casserole dish and top with the mashed potato.
4. Grate some cheddar cheese (or other strong tasting cheese that grills well) to give you a good covering and top with sliced tomatoes. Place the dish in a preheated oven or grill until the cheese melts and starts to bubble. Serve immediately with seasonal vegetables or salad.
5. Tip - This can be made the night before just don't finish off in the grill and put in individual pie dishes instead of a casserole dish. 3 mins in the microwave and you have an instant supper.
