Lemon Tuna Tartlets with Potato-Pumpkin mash

Chicken or fish?

No, we're not flying anywhere... it's our Thursday meal choice!

Last week we had the wonderful Shortcut "Sticky" Chicken, so this week has to be fish. We've had our Baked Haddock already, and I wasn't in the mood for Hake. Hhhhmmm... Oh yes!! TUNA!!

But my Macaroni Tuna has macaroni in it, and although very delicious, it is not suitable for a low-carb diet. (Don't worry, I will still post the recipe!!) So I thought of making little tartlets again, with the side of Potato-Pumpkin Mash...

Preparation Time: 30min

Cooking/Baking time: 1 hour

Difficulty Level: Easy

Serves: 4

Ingredients

3tbs butter

4 eggs

1 onion

1 tin mushrooms / half punnet fresh mushrooms

1tbs german mustard

1t parsley

150g grated cheddar cheese

1tbs lemon juice

1tin tuna in brine

Pepper to taste

Method

Melt 1tbs butter in a pan. Fry the onion and mushrooms until starting to brown. Remove from heat.

 Melt 2tbs butter in a bowl - just melted, not cooking. Add the eggs and whisk very well. Add the mustard, parsley, pepper and lemon juice and whisk well. Add the cheese, tuna and mushroom mix and mix well. 

Spray a muffin pan very well with non-stick spray. Scoop the mixture into the tins. It does not rise, so you can make it as high as you like. 

Bake in the oven at 160degrees C for about 20-30 minutes. The cooking time will depend on how big your tartlets are. 

You will notice that there is no extra salt in the recipe. The lemon and cheese adds quite a zing, which makes salt unnecessary. If you prefer to add salt, be careful to add just a pinch.

Serve warm with a little mayonnaise....

The sweetness of the Potato-Pumpkin mash compliments the zing of the tartlets beautifully!!
