If you dont enjoy, or cant always eat red meat, this may be a perfect substitution. Its a heart, tasty, explosive on your taste buds burger that can be topped with your favorite toppings just as you would with a regular burger. I make it for my nieces all the time and they absolutely love it. Considering they are 12 and 5, feeding them tuna mixed with veggies.....that they LOVE.....is a great thing. Ingredients:
12 ounces tuna, drained (2 cans, usually) |
5 tablespoons breadcrumbs (i like the italian style breadcrumbs) |
2 tablespoons pickle relish |
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (i use fresh, if you are using pre-packaged dry parsely only use 1/2 tablespoon) |
1 tablespoon chopped scallion |
2 tablespoons chopped white onions |
1 stalk celery, chopped |
2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
1 garlic clove, finely chopped |
1/3 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon pepper |
3 tablespoons egg substitute or 1 egg |
1/2 teaspoon oil (or margarine, dont use butter, it has salt, that mixes with the salt already added to the mix) |
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients (but not the tuna or the oil yet) together in a bowl. Once they are mixed well add the Tuna to the mix, and fold it into itself until all the ingredients are well mixed.
2. Heat a sauce pan with the oil on a medium heat.
3. while that heats up for a minute, grab a good amount of the mixture in the bowl, and shape it like a burger (this mix will make 2-3 burgers).
4. place the burger in the pan and cook it for 3-5 minutes on each side (you will know its done on that side because it will be a light-medium brown.
5. place it on a burger bun, or a pita like I do. Top it with cheese, or tomatoes, or lettuce, or all of them plus whatever else you would like.
6. This is a great alternative to beef burgers, that arent healthy to eat too often.
