Tuna Patties


Surprisingly tasty! 

What you need:

  • tuna cans in water, well drained and flaked with a fork.
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (make them crispy)
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup chickpea chickpea flour (see notes below)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (dry works as well)
  • 2 tablespoons green onions (see notes below)
  • 1 egg
  • garlic cloves pressed
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • olive oil to fry
  • lemon wedges, for serving

Notes:

- Instead of chickpea flour you can use regular flour, crushed white bread, bread crumbs, crushed saltines or crackers.
- Instead of green onions you can use sweet or red onions, or chives or shallots.
- You can eat them like a burger.
- If the mix is too soft try adding more flour / bread crumbs / crackers to absorb the moisture. If it's too dry add a little bit of water or milk.

Yields 4 or 8 tuna patties depending of the size of patties you make.

What to do:

  1. In a medium bowl, mix well all ingredients but not the oil.
  2. Divide into 8 equal parts, about 1/4 cup each.
  3. To make the patties form a ball and then flatten with your hands.
  4. Heat the oil and fry the patties for about 3 to 4 minutes each side.
