Fiery Tuna Pie


Last week, I organized a seafood night with the people from work. It has been a while that we didn't cook as a group because of the final exam period. Seafood dishes are what we needed to reward ourselves for hard and painful study.

My Mexican friend, Mon made a tuna pie on puff pastry with a twist of spiciness.  If you can't handle the heat, omit the jalapeno peppers.

1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tomatoes, diced
1 Knorr shrimp cube
few sprigs of parsley
2 cans of tuna

4. Add in tuna and capers. Simmer for 2-3 mins. Add in jalapeno peppers with a few drops of the vinegar. Set aside.
