Tuna patties are milder than salmon. And the flavor of the other ingredients shine through the tuna. Serve them on a plate with pan-fried potatoes and sliced tomatoes and avocados. Or in a toasted pita with lettuce, thin sliced tomatoes and a touch of mayo. Don't forget a handful of potato chips. Ingredients:
2 slices bread, whole grain |
2 tablespoons milk (or water) |
1 (6 ounce) can solid white tuna, drained |
3 tablespoons green peppers, finely chopped |
3 tablespoons onions, finely chopped |
1 garlic clove, smashed and minced |
1 tablespoon chia seeds |
1 egg, stirred |
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated |
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (or other bread crumbs) |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
Directions:
1. Into a small bowl, tear-up the bread and soak in 2 tbsp milk for a couple minutes. Set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix all ingredients together (except oil and Panko).
3. If the mixture feels too wet, add Panko a tbsp at a time, until you can form soft balls.
4. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan.
5. Form tuna mixture into patties and fry for 5 minutes until golden brown.
6. Carefully flip the patties. Add more oil if necessary and brown the other side for 5 minutes.
7. Drain on paper towels and serve after a 4 or 5 minute rest.
