TASTY TUNA PATTIES
If you're ever pressed for time, start with a couple cans of tuna and you'll have a delicious patty in no time that you can serve a number of different ways. Add them to buns with your favorite toppings for sandwiches, serve them alongside a fresh salad, or make smaller versions of them and serve them as appetizers with tartar sauce on the side. There are a lot of great flavor elements in these easy and versatile patties, but the quantities are small so the flavor still comes out pretty mild. If you're looking for a stronger flavor, increase quantities as you like!

TUNA PATTIES
Simple dinner idea. We serve this with a veggie (usually broccoli or spinach) and either mac & cheese or fried potatoes. You can use cracker crumbs instead of breadcrumbs. It's just to soak up some moisture. The patties can be made earlier and set in the fridge. I've never frozen them, so you'll need to do your own experimentation for that! You can cook these in a George Foreman grill, or in a skillet or frying pan. We like them fried!

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients.
- Use more or less breadcrumbs, as needed, to soak up the moisture from the tuna and egg until it is the consistency of a "patty" (I'm sorry I can not explain this better!).
- Make into patties 1/2 inch thick.
- Sprinkle both sides of patties with pepper, and pat it inches.
- Warm up oil and butter in a pan over medium heat, enough so it's hot enough to cook but not burn. You know how your own burners work.
- Fry until golden brown, and flip to cook the other side.
Tips:
- Use fresh tuna. Fresh tuna will give your patties the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh tuna, you can use frozen tuna that has been thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
- Don't overmix the patties. Overmixing will make the patties tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
- Use a light touch when forming the patties. Don't pack the tuna mixture too tightly or the patties will be dense and dry.
- Cook the patties over medium heat. Medium heat will help the patties cook evenly without burning them.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the patties will not cook evenly.
- Serve the patties immediately. Tuna patties are best served hot out of the pan.
Conclusion:
Tuna patties are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, and they can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad. If you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, tuna patties are a great option.
