TUNA BURGERS



Tuna Burgers image

Life can't be about all beef. "Where's The Beef?" questions are fewer nowadays due to an influx of health concerns, as well as those that are watching their weight. The Longmeadow Farm is following suit and will openly and warmly embrace these new "burgers" to grace our "Saturday Lunch at the Farm" crowd. I wanted to produce a light(ish) tuna burger that made Dennis, Jerry, Uncle Dick, and my Dad feel as light as a Spring beetle floating around on a wind current after lunch. This recipe did it. Everyone was full, but not so full they wanted to clamber off to the backyard hammock, and pull their hat over their face. This gave them enough energy to have their giddy-up for all the many maelstroms that would undoubtedly follow them around for the afternoon. Go ahead, try them "Maryland" style with the use of our beloved "Old Bay Seasoning" and get ready to work hard this afternoon. Can be easily doubled for a big crowd.

TUNA BURGERS WITH WASABI MAYONNAISE



Tuna Burgers with Wasabi Mayonnaise image

This simple-to-make meal is a healthy and delicious variation on the traditional burger recipe.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Yield Makes 6 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon unseasoned rice-wine vinegar
Pinch of sugar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound sushi-grade tuna, very finely chopped
2 scallions, white and light green parts only, trimmed and minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Canola oil, for cooking
1/2 bunch arugula
Wasabi Mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Place vinegar and sugar in small bowl. Slowly whisk in 2 tablespoons olive oil to form an emulsion; season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Place tuna, scallions, soy, 2 tablespoons olive oil, sesame oil, and lemon zest in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Mix well, using your hands, to combine. Divide tuna mixture into six equal portions and form each portion into a 1/2-inch thick patty.
  • Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add enough canola oil to coat bottom of skillet. Add patties, and cook until medium-rare, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Place arugula in a large bowl, drizzle with reserved dressing, and toss to combine. Divide arugula evenly between 6 plates. Place one patty on each bed of arugula; serve immediately with wasabi mayonnaise.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh or frozen solid white tuna. Avoid canned tuna, as it will not hold together well in the burgers.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your tuna burgers will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and fresh herbs.
  • Don't overmix the tuna: Overmixing will make the burgers tough. Gently mix the ingredients until they are just combined.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: Cooking the burgers over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Serve the burgers immediately: Tuna burgers are best served immediately after they are cooked. If you need to make them ahead of time, cook them and then let them cool completely. Store the cooked burgers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Tuna burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a variety of toppings and sides to choose from, tuna burgers are a versatile dish that can be served for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give tuna burgers a try!
