Description
Delightful and crispy tuna cakes made from canned tuna, perfect for summer gatherings and easy to whip up for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cans tuna (5 oz each), drained
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs (Italian seasoned)
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, and egg. Mix until well combined.
- Add in the chopped green onions, diced red bell pepper, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, Old Bay seasoning, and salt and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. You should get around 8 cakes.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a few tablespoons of olive oil.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the tuna cakes in the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once golden, remove the cakes and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve warm with a side of your favorite dipping sauce or a salad.
Notes
Ensure to drain the tuna thoroughly to prevent soggy cakes. Consider adding herbs or spices for additional flavor.
