Brazilian Blender Tuna Savoury Pie
A traditional Brazilian comfort food staple popular across all regions for gatherings and quick meals. This savory bake features a moist, tender crumb and is naturally high in protein from the canned tuna. It pairs perfectly with a crisp green salad and a glass of white wine for a light weeknight dinner. The flavor profile balances a savory, fluffy batter with a zesty, seasoned tuna and vegetable filling.

Method
Prepare the Filling
Combine the chopped tomato, drained tuna, garden peas, and chopped olives in a bowl.
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.
Assemble and Bake
Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a glass baking dish with a little oil.
Add all batter ingredients into a blender and blend until completely smooth.
Pour half of the blended batter into the prepared baking dish to form the base layer.
Spread the tuna filling evenly over the bottom layer of batter.
Pour the remaining batter uniformly over the filling to seal the pie.
Bake for approximately 35 to 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Chef's Notes
You can use a standard 200 ml cup to measure the milk and vegetable oil.
