How to Make Curried Tuna Slice

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Make the pastry: Sift 200g flour into a bowl. Rub in 100g cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in 1 egg yolk and gradually add 5-7 tbsp of cold water until a stiff dough forms.
  3. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Roll out the pastry to fit a rectangular baking tin (approx. 20x30cm).
  5. Spread the well-drained tuna evenly over the pastry base.
  6. Sauté 1 chopped onion and 1 chopped celery stalk in 15g butter until the onion is translucent.
  7. Spread the onion and celery mixture over the tuna.
  8. Melt 15g butter in a saucepan. Stir in 15g flour and 2 tsp curry powder until smooth. Gradually whisk in 200ml milk until the sauce boils and thickens.
  9. Reduce the heat, stir in 30g grated cheddar cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
  10. Stir in the 2 lightly beaten eggs, mixing well.
  11. Spread the cheese sauce evenly over the onion and celery layer.
  12. Combine 50g grated cheddar cheese, 1 tsp curry powder, and ½ tsp paprika. Sprinkle evenly over the top.
  13. Bake for 10 minutes at 180°C (350°F), then reduce the heat to 160°C (325°F) and bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is set.
