Empadão de Atum

"Empadão de atum" has got to be one of the easiest recipes ever and I make dish a lot because it is quick and easy to prepare and the flavour is one of my favorites. I like the combination of the soft mashed potatoes because it complements the savory tuna filling so well. Simple and delicious it makes a nice meal and a culinary delight, specially with that golden brown topping. 

Ingredients:
  • potatoes
  • butter
  • nutmeg
  • salt
  • milk
  • tomato  sauce
  • 1 big onion
  • 1 garlic clove 
  • 3 cans of tuna fish
  • olive oil
  • 1 egg
Boil the halved or chunked (but unpeeled) potatoes in a large pan of lightly salted water. When they are soft enough to mash, drain them thoroughl.With a magic wand mix in the warm milk and butter and season with salt, pepper and some nutmeg, to taste.Reserve.   In a pan sauté the onion and garlic in a bit of olive oil. Add in a bit of chili, the tomato sauce and the tuna fish completely drained and mix it all with a wooden spoon. In a bakking tray place a layer of mashed potatoes, alyer of the tuna fish mixture and end with a nother layer of mashed potatoes. Brush the top with an egg and take to the oven pre heated at 180º until golden brown.
