Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Unroll the puff pastry onto a large baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Score a 1cm border around the edges with a sharp knife, taking care not to cut through the pastry. Prick the area inside the border with a fork. Bake for 15 mins.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, heat the oil in frying pan and fry the courgettes until tender and the mixture is quite dry. Allow to cool a little before mixing with the soft cheese.

  • step 3

    Remove the pastry base from the oven and press down any puffed up areas, within the border, with the back of a spoon. Spread over the courgette mixture. Scatter with tuna, lay over the pepper strips and sprinkle on capers. Finally dot with olives and bake for a further 15 mins until the pastry is golden, puffed up and cooked though.

Couldn't put anything on top of it after that. I would recommend placing some baking beads on it to keep the…

A really easy dish to make which is good for after work. Will make again. Not overly exciting but tasty nonetheless and had leftovers for lunch the next day.

Took this dish to a garden party, mainly because I had all the ingredients in stock and just wanted to use them up. Unfortunately this dish did not come up to expectations, hence the 2 star rating. Would not bother again.

I made this for lunch yesterday, but could not lay my hands on the recipe at the time of cooking! I knew I had all the right ingredients so just made the method up as I went along so I ended up scoring the pastry sheet but not baking it blind. I also mixed the raw courgette with the cream cheese,…
