Tuna Pie
Tanni made a simple pie which is great as a snack or for school lunch. It can be made with canned tuna or salmon. We made both in the kitchen. We found that the Tuna Pie taste better. Perhaps, the salmon flavour is slightly stronger.
The Tuna or Salmon Pie is filled with carrot, tomato and potato. It’s a good way to incorporate vegetables into a dish which kids will eat. This can be eaten warm or cold.
Ingredients
- 1 can tuna or salmon
- 4 oz butter
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons mustard
- 3/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 tomato, diced
- 2 potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1 medium carrot, boiled, peeled and diced

Vegetable Pie in Beef Shell
Jean demonstrated this Vegetable Pie in Beef Shell in the Caring Place Community Kitchen upon Minoo’s request. Jean had demonstrated this pie at another community kitchen which I did not attend and it was so good that the portion that the members supposed to bring home was gobbled up on the spot.
This pie is unique in a way that the shell is made from beef, kind of like meat loaf with vegetables toppings.

- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup parsley, minced
- 2 cups potatoes. diced

Impossible Pie
This one is Jean’s recipe. It is a very simple but yet delectable dessert. The Impossible Pie is crispy on the outside by the brown coconut flakes and creamy in the inside like an egg custard.
Anyone know why this is called the Impossible Pie? Perhaps its because it is impossible to go wrong with this pie.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup flaked coconut
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
Instructions
The instructions are so simple that I do not have to post any pictures to illustrate them.
Pour all the ingredients into a blender and blend for a few minutes. Pour the mixture into a greased 9″ pie plate and bake in a 325F preheated oven for 40 minutes or until a knife comes out clean when inserted into the pie.
