This tuna pie is for Dina who wants to cook a fish pie for our time in isolation in Melbourne! The fish I had to cook was a fillet of fresh tuna. I added various vegetables that attracted me when I peered into the fridge as well as garlic, ginger and some basil paste. I had intended coriander but the frozen stock I had of it seemed to have lost its flavour. However, the basil paste sufficed and was indeed yummy.

1/2 red capsicum
2 spring onions
1 mushroom
2 cloves garlic crushed
2 tsp crushed ginger root
2 tsp basil paste
200 gr fresh tuna

gotta love a pie! have you tried the gourmet garden brand of herb pastes and dried herbs? They're an aussie brand (and QLD brand) which is always a good thing :-) always good to use local. sorry, i sound like an ad for them ...
