Ingredients

  • 320 puff pastry 
  • tbsp olive oil 
  •  zucchini grated
  • 150 alouette garlic & herbs spreadable cheese soft (we used Boursin)
  • 185 water-packed tuna drained canned
  • 140 roasted peppers sliced into strips
  • tbsp caper drained
  •  olives black pitted

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • knife

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas
  2. 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.
  3. Bake for 15 mins.
  4. 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.
  5. Remove the pastry base from the oven and press down any puffed up areas, within the border, with the back of a spoon.
  6. 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.
