Tuna and spinach parcels

Rating
Type of dish : Starter
To serve : 4
Preparation : 20 min
Cooking : 10 min
Budget : Cheap
From : France
Difficulty : Easy
 
Ingredients :
4 sheets of filo pastry
olive oil
250g frozen spinach
4 pinches ground cumin
4 very fine slices of lemon
400g fresh or frozen tuna
80g frozen or tinned carrots
Juice of half a lemon
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 pinch chilli powder
1/4 sprig of chopped parsley
salt and pepper
 
Recipe :
Roll the sheets of pastry out side by side on your work surface and brush them with olive oil.

Cook the 250g frozen spinach in salted boiling water for 1 minute, leave to cool, drain and squeeze gently. Place a slice of lemon in the centre of each sheet of pastry and spoon on small piles of spinach. Arrange a 100g portion of the tuna (cut into 4 slices) onto each sheet of pastry. Close up the parcels, making a round shape. Simply bring the edges to meet the top, fold and press together, then turn over so that the smooth side of the parcels is face up.

Bake for 6-8 minutes in the oven at 180°C (Gas Mark 6).

Blend together the carrots (chopped into very thin slices), 4 tbsp olive oil, the juice of half a lemon, salt, pepper, cumin seeds, powdered chilli and parsley in a bowl.

Enjoy the parcels hot or cold, drizzled with the carrot and cumin vinaigrette.
