This recipe makes about 12 good-sized patties, which are about 120 cals each.
1 x 425g canned tuna in an olive oil blend. (I didn't drain it).
1 cup of grated carrot
2 eggs
3/4 cup of breadcrumbs (I used gluten-free)
1 small red onion (Spanish?)
1 cup of finely chopped spinach
a good handful each of fresh mint & parsley, finely chopped
1 teaspoon of minced garlic(I didn't have any fresh)
1 tablespoon of finely chopped mixed seeds (I used hemp, sunflower & pumpkin)
Juice of 1 lemon or lime (could also add some zest if you like. I will next time)
8-10 capers (optional of course. I love them!)
2 tablespoons of grated fresh Parmesan cheese.
Freshly ground black pepper to taste (I love lots) & a little salt only as the capers & tuna are quite salty already.
Method
I just mixed it all up & formed them into medium-sized patties, which ended up being 12 & then shallow fried them in olive oil until nicely browned. Next time I might add a little GF plain flour to the mix to make them stick together better.
They are delicious cold, but I have also microwaved them with veggies.
Can squeeze some lemon juice on them too, but these were nice & tasty & also quite moist.
