    Tuna Rice Pie - Week 27, 2016

    Jump to recipe

    Some days I have this 'I want to throw everything in a bowl, stick it in the oven and it come out edible!'  :)   This thermomix tuna rice pie was inspired by some left over rice in the fridge and a tin of tuna in the cupboard (I did have a bag of chocolate chips as well but didn't think they would go too well!!)  ;)

    So I did the masterchef classic invention test - I went to google and googled some recipes.  I knew a pie would be the easiest thing but I really wasn't sure what else I could pair with it all to make it edible.

    Then I stumbled upon this recipe from Chew Town and I had all but a few of the ingredients.  So a couple of subs and we had a really nice dinner!

    I have really enjoyed experimenting with this.  The flavours and the possibilities are really great.  The bocconcini I think adds that extra gooey taste that carries the chilli and semi dried tomatoes.  I am 99.9% positive this will be a great addition to your weekly menu!   :D

      I was sceptical about this dish but we loved it & it was very filling. It was requested again 2 nights later.

        It has that "I don't know about this!" look but the proof is in the pie :D

      This has become one of my favourite meals. It is so tasty and easy to make. We both love it. Makes a very nice change from tuna mornay which was my only other tuna recipe! Thank you, Leonie.

      Really really lovely meal, enjoyed by the whole family! I think it would be equally lovely served cold in summer.
      I am thinking of making individual serves in muffin tins for school lunch boxes.
      Thanks for a delicious and easy recipe.
