Description
Delightful crispy tuna cakes that deliver flavor and comfort, made with canned tuna and Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs.
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 and the mixture is pliable.
- 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
Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes before forming patties for easier shaping. Serve with vibrant garnishes and zesty dipping sauces.
