Suits all phases – Serves 4
Ingredients
450g green beans, sliced
2 Tbsp butter
8 small mushrooms, chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
2 Tbsp finely chopped onion
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 (425g) can tuna, drained
120g cheddar cheese, shredded
Method
- Steam the green beans until bright green and starting to soften. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and sauté the mushrooms, celery and onion until very soft and starting to brown.
- Add the stock; bring to a boil. Let the liquid reduce by half, then stir in the cream. Bring back to a boil. Turn down the heat a bit and cook until reduced and thickened, stirring frequently and watching closely so it doesn’t boil over.
- Season to taste. Add the tuna and green beans. Mix in the cheese; put into a casserole and microwave or bake until hot and bubbly.
