Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 2 cans of chunk light tuna
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup chopped onions
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Equipment: Frying pan, Mixing bowl

We strongly suggest using chunk light tuna for this recipe as it provides a firm, flaky texture. The ‘breadcrumbs’ hold the patties together and ensure they don���t crumble when frying. Try using olive oil for frying; its mild flavor complements the tuna perfectly. Lost your parsley? Don’t squirm! You can replace it easily with cilantro or even dill.

How To Make Tuna Patties

1. Start by draining out the water/oil from the tuna cans. Transfer the tuna to a large mixing bowl.
2. Add in the eggs, breadcrumbs, chopped onions, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to the tuna. After adding all the ingredients, combine them thoroughly until the mixture holds together.
3. Divide and shape the mixture into eight equal patties.
4. In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. Once done, gently place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. The patties should be served immediately for the best taste.

Tips For The Best Results

• Avoid overmixing the patties mixture. It could make the patties tough and rubbery.
• Ensure the frying pan is hot enough before adding the patties to avoid sticking.

Storage Tips

• These Patties can be refrigerated for up to two days. To reheat, microwave them or saut�� in a pan until warmed through.
• You can also freeze the uncooked patties in airtight containers for up to two months. Defrost in the fridge overnight before pan-frying.
