Tuna Mornay Parcels
- Replies 1
Do the words creamy tuna mornay with a cheese and peas filling get your mouth watering? Then you’re in for a treat! Tuna Mornay Parcels are easy to make and incredibly tasty. Serve them for dinner with a salad, or reheat a couple for lunch the next day. It’s also a great way to stretch your budget and get creative in the kitchen. You could even make the filling the day before and fill and cook the parcels just before serving. So why not whip some up for you or your family this week?
Here are the ingredients you need:
1. 30g butter
2. 2 green shallots, thickly sliced
3. 2 tbsp plain flour
4. 310ml (1 1/4 cups) milk
5. 80g (1 cup) coarsely grated cheddar
6. 185g can tuna in oil, drained, flaked
7. 120g (3/4 cup) frozen mixed vegetables (peas and corn)
8. 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, just thawed
9. 1 egg, lightly whisked
Begin by heating the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it has melted. Then add the shallot and cook for two minutes until it has softened. Pour in the flour and cook, stirring for about a minute. Gradually add the milk while whisking, until the mixture is completely combined and has thickened slightly. Move the sauce to a large bowl and set aside until it has cooled.
Add the tuna and the frozen veg to the white sauce and combine. Cut each pastry sheet into four squares and place a quarter-cupful of the tuna mixture into the centre of each one. Fold the pastry corners inwards to enclose the filling and pinch the edges together.
Set your air fryer or oven to 190C. Brush the parcels with the egg and grease the frying basket with oil. Place four parcels into the basket and bake for eight minutes or until they've turned a light golden colour. Then turn and cook for another three minutes. Repeat in batches with the remaining parcels. Serve and enjoy!
