Delicious Healthy Tuna Patties Recipe

Tuesday 16 December 2014


Easy to make, filling, healthy and delicious dish for your lunch or dinner! Tuna is not only one of the tastiest fish variety in my opinion, but is also super rich in protein, which is exactly what's needed for anyone wanting to lose weight (and keep the muscle mass!) and keep the blood sugar under control.
The ingredients list for the tuna patties is also accessible and affordable, so I really hope you give these tasty tuna patties a try!

INGREDIENTS:
(Makes 15 small patties)
♥ 2 cans of skipjack tuna having 150g of drained weight each. (I ♥ this one - http://tidd.ly/58e82bf2)
♥ 2 medium organic eggs
♥ 4 heaped tablespoons of rolled oats or oat bran
♥ 2 shallots or 1 small onion
♥ 4 garlic cloves
♥ Fresh, frozen or dried dill to taste (but the more the better in my opinion :) )
♥ Ground pepper
♥ Parsley
♥ Sprinkle of lemon spice
♥ Ground coriander
♥ Olive oil (My favorite product of all!! - http://tidd.ly/3f2b35d3)

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a medium or large bowl beat the eggs with a fork. Add drained tuna and ground pepper.
2. Take a chopper (mine looks like this one below) or coffee bean grinder, grind the oats and add them to the mixture. Alternatively, you can take oat bran, which suits very well too.
3. Finely chop shallots and garlic or chop the in the chopper (how many more words "chop" could I use here? :) )
4. Add dried parsley, ground coriander and finely chopped dill.
5. Pre-heat a non-stick frying pan, add a teaspoon of olive oil and smear the the surface of the frying pan well.
6. With your clean hands, start forming flat patties and put them onto the frying pan one by one.
7. Cover the frying pan with the lid and leave for 5 minutes on low heat. Then turn the patties over and cook for 4 more minutes.
8. Serve with green veggies or fresh vegetable salad.

Enjoy! xx
