Method

How to make the pie

Heat the olive oil and sauté the onion, pepper, and garlic. Add the tuna, marjory, tomato paste, 50ml water and ground pepper. Cook for 3-4′ and let the filling aside to cool. Preheat the oven to 175oC. Open up the puff pastry and pour the filling in the middle of it, lengthwise. Add the hard-boiled egg, chopped. Fold the pastry lengthwise around the filling. Beat an egg white, then brush over the pastry, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 40-45′ or until the pastry is risen and dark golden brown.


How to make the sauce

Add all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Serve the pie and the sauce on the side.
