Tuna Cakes

I love canned tuna....tuna paste, tuna pate...etc etc but my favourite are tuna cakes. They can be eaten hot or cold and accompanied by a sauce or dip are great!

I have found most recipes use breadcrumbs as the filler..i prefer mashed potatoes - the taste this way is great. Also note that you can really add whatever tickles your fancy to the mixture - coriander and curry - corn and cilantro - these tuna cakes are so versatile!

Ingredients:

2 cans tuna fish

1/2 cup onion, chopped very finely ( you can also cook the onions before adding to the mixture)

2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed

Fresh parsley, chopped

Garlic, crushed (use as much or as little as you like)

1 egg, beaten well

Salt and Pepper

Flour or breadcrumbs to roll in.

peanut oil for cooking.

Method:

Mix all the above!!

Shape into patties.

Roll in flour or breadcrumbs

Fry, turning until both sides are nice and brown.

You could also grill these patties - but i like frying them in peanut oil..nice and light!
