TUNA PATTIES



Tuna Patties image

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!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 patties, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (5 -6 ounce) cans tuna in water, well drained (NOT oil)
1 egg
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup onion, cut as small as preferred
salt & pepper
oil, & butter to cook in (optional)

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.

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!
