TUNA FISH PATTIES

This is a great recipe I came up with to get rid of leftover bread. I generally use the contents of my vegetable drawer here so I kind of throw in whatever I have at the time, so you can use your own judgment. They taste really nice when eaten with sour cream or low-fat mayo or even on their own - though my husband prefers ketchup. I generally use this recipe as a guideline, so have fun with it!

TUNA FISH-CHEESE PATTIES

Tuna patties are milder than salmon. And the flavor of the other ingredients shine through the tuna. Serve them on a plate with pan-fried potatoes and sliced tomatoes and avocados. Or in a toasted pita with lettuce, thin sliced tomatoes and a touch of mayo. Don't forget a handful of potato chips.

Yield 4 Patties, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 slices bread, whole grain
2 tablespoons milk (or water)
1 (6 ounce) can solid white tuna, drained
3 tablespoons green peppers, finely chopped
3 tablespoons onions, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, smashed and minced
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 egg, stirred
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (or other bread crumbs)
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

Into a small bowl, tear-up the bread and soak in 2 tbsp milk for a couple minutes. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix all ingredients together (except oil and Panko).
If the mixture feels too wet, add Panko a tbsp at a time, until you can form soft balls.
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan.
Form tuna mixture into patties and fry for 5 minutes until golden brown.
Carefully flip the patties. Add more oil if necessary and brown the other side for 5 minutes.
Drain on paper towels and serve after a 4 or 5 minute rest.

Tips:

Use high-quality canned tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water and has a light, flaky texture. Avoid tuna that is packed in oil, as it will make your patties greasy.
Add vegetables to your patties. This will help to bulk them up and add nutrients. Some good options include diced celery, carrots, onions, or bell peppers.
Use a variety of seasonings. This will help to give your patties flavor. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Don't overmix your patties. Overmixing will make them tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
Cook your patties over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
Serve your patties with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, green beans, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Tuna fish patties are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be served with a variety of sides. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a hearty and satisfying dinner, tuna fish patties are a great option. Give them a try today and see for yourself how delicious they are!
