CROQUETAS DE ATúN - TUNA FISH BALLS

Croquetas De Atún - Tuna Fish Balls image

This is a simple recipe based that most of children will like. These fish balls can be served as appetizer with a salsa sauce or as starter with the suggested vegetable mix (salad). I used potatoes that after boiling, peeling and mashing they hold together. If you don't have this kind of potatoes, please add 1 egg and some 2 or tablespoon of flour.

Ingredients

400 g potatoes, boiled, peeled and coarsely grated
200 g tuna fish, canned well drained and crushed
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, to taste
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes, to taste
salt & pepper
1 egg (only if necessary)
2 -4 tablespoons flour (only if necessary)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup breadcrumbs, more if necessary
olive oil, to fry
1 red pepper, cut into small cubes
1 yellow pepper, cut into small cubes
1 small cucumber, cut into small cubes
1 tomatoes, cut into small cubes
1/2 green onion, thinly sliced
olive oil
lemon juice

Steps:

First of all make all the ingredients ready.
In a big bowl combine potatoes, tuna fish, parsley, spices and salt. Work with a fork. If it doesn't stick together add 1 egg and about 2 tablespoon of flour.
Form walnuts sized balls, coat first with egg and then with the breadcrumbs. Flat them slightly and place them on a dish.
Preheat a non sticky pan with about 2 tablespoon oil to medium temperature.
Fry the meatball on the first size when golden brown, turn, add 2 tablespoon oil and brown the second size.
For the serving suggestion combine all the vegetable in a bowls toss, eventually add some salt (I didn't). Serve with lemon and olive oil.
If you prefer serve this with a fresh salsa.
Enjoy!
Note: this looks wonderful with some fresh green salad.

I'm not usually a fan of tuna, but these tuna fish balls were surprisingly good. I think it's the combination of flavors and textures that makes them so addictive.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tuna fish balls turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

I've made these tuna fish balls several times now and they're always a hit. They're a great way to use up leftover tuna and they're always a crowd-pleaser.

These tuna fish balls were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.

Not a fan of the texture of these tuna fish balls. I think it's the breadcrumbs. I'll try using crackers next time.

I've made tuna fish balls before, but this recipe is definitely my favorite. The tuna fish balls were moist and flavorful, and the coating was crispy and golden brown.
