Fresh Tuna and Peas recipe

vegetarian

If you're feeding a large family, then make this scrumptious Shepherd's Pie that tastes so good, it probably won't guarantee you any leftovers!

I used Cornish Game Hens, but you could also use a cut up chicken. If you can't get winter melon, watermelon will work. Winter melon is white, very mild tasting and a tad denser than watermelon. I think you could get away using something like Honeydew too.
