child's recipe
tasty stuffed pitta pockets with tuna, egg and sweetcorn
Stuffed pitta pockets with a nutritious filling make a good snack or light lunch and are also make a nice change from an ordinary
sandwich for your child's lunchbox. This tuna mix is very tasty and can be prepared the night before.
2 eggs
200g can tuna in oil
100g (4 oz) sweetcorn
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp white wine vinegar
4 spring onions, chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper
a few drops Tabasco sauce
salad cress (optional)
2 pitta breads
Put the eggs in a saucepan of cold water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 7 to 8 minutes (the yolk
should be solid). Drain and cool under cold water. Peel the eggs when cold.
Meanwhile, strain the oil from the can of tuna and mix the flaked tuna together with the sweetcorn, mayonnaise, white
wine vinegar, spring onion, salt and pepper and the tabasco sauce. Roughly chop the hard-boiled eggs and add to the tuna mix
with the salad cress (if using), stirring well.
Cut the pitta breads in half to give 4 pitta pockets, toast the bread and divide the mixture between them.
