I make a lot of pies , they are a great way to make use of leftovers , but you can make great fillings from scratch and be really creative ......here is one of my favourites .
HELPFUL HINTS
I use a short pastry for the base of the pie and a puff pastry for the pie lid /top . Once the pie maker machine has been sprayed with cooking oil and then sprinkle lightly with fine polenta , this encourages a crisp base and prevents sogginess .
TUNA & RED PEPPER PIE .
This is so delicious and simple .
Spread the short pastry ( base )with ready made tomato pizza sauce
Drain and flake 400gm tin of tuna in oil .
You will also need a jar of chargrilled red capsicums in oil , drained and sliced .
Mix the tuna and capsicum together ( gently ) and add 100gm of black olives ,stoned and sliced .
Season to taste with dill , sal and pepper .
Preheat and prepare your pie maker .
Fill the pastry base as required and spread the puff pastry ( lid /top ) with tomato pizza sauce .
Lightly sprinkle the pie top with polenta .
Repeat the above process with remaining ingredients and pastry .
Cook as per pie maker directions .
