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
- Start by draining out the water/oil from the tuna cans. Transfer the tuna to a large mixing bowl.
- 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.
- Divide and shape the mixture into eight equal patties.
- 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.
- 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.
