Ingredients
  • 2 cans tuna
  • ½ cup bread crumbs, or Quaker Oats
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp parsley finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh onions, or chives finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp raw celery finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp hot mustard
  • 1 tsp ground pepper
  • 1 tsp Tabasco or other hot sauce
  • 1 raw egg
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
  1. Mix together the tuna, mustard, bread, lemon zest and juice, water, parsley, chives, and hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in the egg.
  2. Divide the mixture into 4 flat patties.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Place the patties in the pan and cook until browned - about 5 minutes each side. Higher the heat, the more texture on the outside - but flip them sooner.
  4. Serve with lemon or lime wedges. Prepare a fresh green salad to go with this for a full, light, meal.
