These tuna cakes are easy and delicious. You can have them on their own, with some dipping sauce, as a side dish, or even in a sandwich. This recipe contains raw egg, so don’t lick your fingers, and wash your hands properly! Let an adult handle the chopping and the stove-top.
You’ll need
* 3 eggs
* 1 tsp lemon juice
* 3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
* ¾ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
* 1 tsp old bay seasoning
* 4 five-ounce cans of tuna, drained
* 1 tsp Dijon mustard
* 1/8 cup finely diced onion
* ¼ cup finely diced celery
* ¼ tsp black pepper
* ¼ tsp dill
* 3-4 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
Beat eggs and lemon juice in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, old bay seasoning, tuna, mustard, onion, celery, black pepper and dill. Pour in egg/lemon mixture.
Separate the mixture into eight parts, and form each into patties with the palms of your hand. They should be about one-inch thick.
Pop them into the fridge for an hour (or longer). This helps them to keep their shape when you cook them.
Add the vegetable oil to a pan and cook the patties over medium heat until golden brown. This should take about five minutes for each side.
