TUNA FISH PATTIES



Tuna Fish Patties image

This is a great recipe I came up with to get rid of leftover bread. I generally use the contents of my vegetable drawer here so I kind of throw in whatever I have at the time, so you can use your own judgment. They taste really nice when eaten with sour cream or low-fat mayo or even on their own - though my husband prefers ketchup. I generally use this recipe as a guideline, so have fun with it!

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest tuna possible: Fresh tuna will have a bright red color and a mild, slightly fishy smell. Avoid tuna that is brown or gray, or that has a strong odor.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your tuna patties will taste. Use fresh herbs and spices, and avoid using processed ingredients like canned soup or cream of mushroom soup.
  • Don't overmix the tuna mixture: Overmixing will make the tuna patties tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Form the tuna patties gently: Use your hands to gently form the tuna patties, and avoid pressing them too firmly. This will help to keep them tender.
  • Cook the tuna patties over medium heat: Cooking the tuna patties over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning. Cook them for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the tuna patties immediately: Tuna patties are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can serve them with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
