Where to find ingredients
All ingredients, such as all-purpose flour and fresh eggs, can be easily sourced at local supermarkets in Fiji or neighbourhood fresh food markets. For the filling, you can use canned staples like tinned tuna or sardines, or fresh protein sourced from local butcher shops or fish markets.
Preparation method
- In a blender, combine all the crust ingredients and pulse until you reach a smooth, homogeneous consistency that masks the raw egg aroma.
- Grease a baking dish thoroughly with butter and dust it with a little flour.
- Pour exactly half of the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Evenly spread your chosen filling over the bottom layer of the batter.
- Cover the filling completely with the remaining batter.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C until the top is golden and the crust feels firm. Baking time may vary depending on your oven and the size of the dish.
