Tuna Fish Cakes
These Tuna Fish Cakes turned out amazing.
This tuna recipe was inspired by my brother’s suggestion to come up with a
recipe to use all those cans of tuna in the pantry. I think it may be a reason to go buy more
tuna fish.
Tuna Fish Cakes
I started with two cans of tuna fish in a large bowl but it is fine to just half the
recipe for just one.
I diced up very small
celery, yellow pepper, onion, and one whole jalapeno (about 1/2 cup total). Add
this to the tuna and stir. Next add 2 eggs, sriracha sauce to taste (leave it out if you don't like hot and spicy), finely shredded cheese (whatever
amount you want), whatever seasoning you like and then bread crumbs or some other crumble mixture. (crackers, pretzels, bread crumbs,
or crumbled potato chips) I used seasoned stuffing that I finely ground in the
food processor. Use enough to make the patties stick together. They will be
kind of crumbly but squeeze them together good.
Heat a pan with a little
oil or nonstick spray. Drop in the tuna fish cake patties when the pan is hot and cook on that side a few
minutes. You can make then whatever size you want, small for an appetizer or
large for dinner. Try not play with the tuna fish cakes too much because they will fall apart.
Flip very carefully and cook on the other side a few minutes. Shut off stove
and sprinkle with cheese and let melt. I used mozzarella but you can use
whatever you like or have on hand.
When the cheese is melted on the tuna fish cakes they are ready to eat. Very quick meal with a very inexpensive high protein
product.
