Recipe ingredients
- 1 cup (250 mL) broccoli florets
- 1 cup (250 mL) cauliflower florets
- 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) olive oil*
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
- 6.5 oz. (198 g) tin of tuna, drained
- 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) chopped capers
- 1/2 zest of lemon
- Sufficient quantity, olive* or vegetable* oil
- 8 sheets of phyllo dough
- 4 eggs*
Preparation
In salted boiling water, cook the broccoli and cauliflower florets until they’re tender but firm. Set aside.
In a frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat and brown the onion and celery for 2 to 3 minutes.
In a bowl, gently mix the vegetables, tuna, capers, lemon zest, salt and pepper to season.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a frying pan, heat enough oil over medium heat so there’s about 1/2" (1 cm) of oil in the pan.
On a work surface, lay two phyllo sheets on top of each other.
Put ¼ of the vegetable mixture on half a sheet, making a depression in the centre and then crack open an egg in it.
Fold over the phyllo sheets in the shape of a half-moon and place in the hot oil.
Use a spatula to press down the edges of the phyllo turnover so that they stick together and do not release the filling.
Cook each side for 2 minutes, then place on a baking sheet.
Repeat these steps for the remaining sheets, making four turnovers in all.
Place the turnovers in the oven and heat for 5 minutes.
Serve right away.

If desired, serve with julienned cucumbers and carrots.* We recommend Selection and Irresistibles products.
