Tuna patties ingredients

  • 1 cup of mashed potato (1 large potato)
  • 425g tin of tuna chunks in spring water, drained and flaked
  • 4 green spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 125g tin corn kernels
  • 2 tbs breadcrumbs (plus extra if needed)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbs Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbs fresh coriander leaves, chopped (plus extra to serve)
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 lemon
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • oil for shallow frying

Method

  • In a large bowl, combine the mashed potato, tuna, spring onions, corn, breadcrumbs, garlic, chopped coriander, cayenne pepper and egg. Mix together until well combined and season with salt and pepper.
  • Form eight balls from the mixture and press them slightly flat.
  • Gently press them into a bowl of panko crumbs so they’re crumbed either side.
  • Heat a glug of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Shallow fry until golden, squeeze a lemon quarter or two over the top while cooking. Let sit on paper towel before serving.

Notes

  • Serve with extra lemon and a dollop of mayonnaise. Delicious!
