Mommas Tuna Patties Recipes

EASY TUNA PATTIES

Steps:

• Beat eggs and lemon juice in a bowl; stir in Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs to make a paste. Fold in tuna and onion until well-mixed. Season with black pepper. Shape tuna mixture into eight 1-inch-thick patties.
• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; fry patties until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.

TUNA PATTIES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes, cut them into chunks and put them in a pot of water to cook. When they are cooked, a fork will easily pierce the potatoes, strain them and mash them into a puree.
• Add drained tuna, eggs, onion, garlic, the parsley or basil, salt, pepper to taste and 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs. Mix well with a wooden spoon until all the ingredients are combined. The mixture will be a little wet.
• Place the rest of breadcrumbs on a plate.
• Form small balls with your hands and then flatten them into circular patties. Cover both sides of each with bread crumbs. (Alternative method: combine the bread crumbs directly into the mixture by adding a little bit at a time until the entire mixture is consistent. Then make the small balls and flatten into circular patties).
• Add 1/4 cup olive oil to the pan to fry the patties, but not deep fry.
• When the oil is at frying temperature, add the patties to the pan. Be careful not to crowd the pan too much, which will cause the cakes to steam rather than fry. Usually, it takes about 3-4 minutes on each side. They will look golden brown when ready. Remove them from the pan with a slotted spatula and place them on a paper towel to drain extra oil. Change oil when needed.
• If you don't want to fry them, you can spray a baking sheet with olive oil, place the uncooked patties on top, and place them in a pre-heated oven at 350 F (180 C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping the patties halfway through so they can brown on both sides.
