Approximately 8 serves


Tuna Parcels
180g can tuna, drained and flaked
60g light cream cheese
¼ cup reduced fat grated tasty cheese
3 green onions, sliced
1 stick celery, finely sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard
8 sheets filo pastry
Oil spray

Yoghourt Dipping Sauce
1/3 cup Greek-style yoghourt
¼ cup sweet chilli sauce

  • Combine tuna, cheeses, onions, celery, lemon juice and mustard. 
  • Fold one sheet of filo in quarters, spraying each layer lightly with oil.  Place a tablespoon of mixture on one corner and roll up, tucking sides in, to form a parcel.  Place parcels on an oven tray lined with baking paper. 
  • Cook in moderate oven (180oC) for 8 – 10 minutes or until golden. 
  • Combine yoghourt and sweet chilli sauce for yoghourt dipping sauce.

Serve with:

  • Steamed greens like French beans, snow peas, asparagus or broccoli, sprinkled with a little sesame seeds
  • Roma tomatoes, red Spanish onion, fresh basil leaves and balsamic vinegar salad


Suggestions:

  • Try canned salmon instead of tuna
  • For fussy eaters or a leftover solution replace tuna with cooked chicken.
  • Make some extra parcels and have cold for lunch the next day
  • Be generous with the dipping sauce if it’s been a low calcium intake day
