This is a recipe that look so good. And it can be frozen. The tuna patties can be served with a tartar sauce if you prefer. ETA : i made it on September 5, 2011. This is wonderful with the marinara sauce. I used fresh tomatoes from my garden. I had only 2 can of tuna, so I added a can of salmon. But it tastes only tuna. Even my son likes these patties. And he eats them plain. No sauce. Ingredients:
2 garlic cloves, chopped |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
19 ounces crushed tomatoes, undrained |
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped |
salt and pepper |
1 (19 ounce) can white beans, rinsed and drained |
1 egg |
3 (6 ounce) tuna, drained and flaked |
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs |
1/3 cup fresh chives, chopped |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
Directions:
1. Marinara Sauce: In a saucepan, soften the garlic in oil. Add tomatoes. Bring to boil and let simmer slowly about 10 minutes. Add basil. Adjust seasoning. Set aside in a warm place.
2. Patties: In a food processor, puree the beans and egg until creamy. Put in a bowl and add tuna, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and chives. Stir well. Adjust seasoning.
3. Put the remaining breadcrumbs in another bowl. Set aside.
4. Shape the mixture of tuna in 12 patties of about 1/4 cup each. Coat each one with breadcrumbs.
5. In a large non-stick skillet, brown the patties in oil about 3 minutes each side.
6. Serve with marinara sauce and a green veggie. Or you can serve with tartar sauce).
