BBQ TUNA FRITTERS
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the tuna, egg and oats until blended. Mix in the barbeque sauce, green onion, hot pepper sauce, savory, and salt.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Spoon tablespoonfuls of the tuna mixture into the pan, and flatten slightly. Smaller patties hold together better. Cook until browned on each side, about 3 minutes per side.

GRILLED TUNA BURGERS WITH SPICY MAYO
Steps:
- Add the sesame oil, soy sauce, red pepper flakes and egg to a large mixing bowl. Mix well, then fold in the tuna, red bell pepper and scallions. Mix well to coat everything evenly. Sprinkle with salt and fold in the panko breadcrumbs to lightly bind everything. Carefully form the mixture into 4 even-size patties and set on a platter. Refrigerate so the patties firm up and hold their shape when cooked, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Coat the pan with a little vegetable oil and cook the tuna patties 3 minutes per side (when done, the patties will be browned on the outside and medium-rare in the center).
- Grill the hamburger buns over high heat until well charred and crispy.
- Serve the tuna burgers slathered with the Spicy Sriracha Mayo, lettuce leaves and tomato slices on the toasted, seeded hamburger buns, paired with the dry Riesling.
- Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Sriracha, sesame oil, lemon juice, honey and scallions in a large mixing bowl. Stir well to combine, season with salt and pepper and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Steps:
- To grill the tuna, get a charcoal or stove-top cast-iron grill very hot. Brush the fish with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill each side for only 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. The center should be raw, like sushi, or the tuna will be tough and dry. Allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes and serve.

BBQ TUNA FRITTERS
A fun way to make canned tuna taste less like canned tuna. These thin tuna patties are tasty enough to be eaten plain or in a pita pocket with lettuce and tomato.

BBQ TUNA (TASTES LIKE PORK--REALLY)
The mind boggled when I saw this recipe in a CHURCH cookbook... I thought "revolting" so why was I compelled to try it and why am I posting it here? For privacy reasons I will generalize to keep the church & location confidential but think in terms of the area in which you live. Imagine the oldest church in YOUR area having this recipe in its cookbook which was prepared under the guidance of 15 women in the church: all with prominent names in social and political circles spanning generations. WOULD these women include a terrible recipe? Would any of them LIE to you about its being worthy of making? HMMMMM... suffice it for me to say I'm not sure I'd declare it really tastes like pork! However, I will say that IF anyone served this BBQ does NOT know it has tuna in it, I suspect most will not guess tuna as the first guess. In fact, this IS fairly tasty IF you can get past the fact that TUNA is the basic ingredient! Are you brave enough to try? It is low cal, low fat, high protein, and diabetic friendly! (The book was old enough that I did have to tweak the ingredients because tuna is no longer in 6+ ounce cans.)

Steps:
- Open tuna cans, cutting fully around, and expel as much liquid as possible while pressing down upon lid very hard! (Necessary IF you want to improve odds that tuna will not be suspected.).
- Combine ALL ingredients in a small saucepan and stir well to blend completely.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat while stirring; then immedialely reduce to a low simmer for a few minutes. Keep stirring to prevent scorching!
- Remove from heat and allow to rest a few minutes to assure onions rehydrate before serving.
- Makes enough moist, not wet, BBQ for 3-4 sandwiches; serve on buns as any other BBQ.
- I recommend using additional Carolina Style Mustard BBQ Sauce to moisten the Tuna BBQ to a preferred consistency more moist than this basic recipe. I'm partial to my own Caroline Style Mustard BBQ Sauce(Recipe #446238) -- a take off of Mike Mills' Mustard BBQ Sauce.

Tips:
- Choose Fresh Tuna: Opt for sushi-grade or high-quality tuna steaks for the best flavor and texture.
- Properly Drain Tuna: Ensure the tuna is well-drained before flaking to prevent excess moisture in the fritters.
- Use Panko Breadcrumbs: Panko breadcrumbs provide a crispy texture and help bind the fritters together.
- Seasoning is Key: Don't skimp on seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. They enhance the flavor of the fritters.
- Control the Frying Temperature: Maintain the oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Drain on Paper Towels: After frying, place the fritters on paper towels to absorb excess oil for a crispy texture.
