Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cans tuna, drained
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, drain the tuna thoroughly, ensuring no excess liquid remains.
- Add breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard to the tuna. Mix ingredients gently but thoroughly, breaking up the tuna into small, even pieces.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper, ensuring even distribution of seasoning.
- Form the tuna mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, compressing them firmly so they hold together.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a light coating of cooking oil.
- Cook the tuna cakes for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy on the exterior.
- While tuna cakes are cooking, prepare the slaw by combining shredded carrot and thinly sliced bell pepper in a separate bowl.
- Season the slaw with a light sprinkle of salt and pepper, and toss to mix ingredients.
- Once tuna cakes are cooked, transfer to serving plates and top with the fresh carrot pepper slaw.
- Serve immediately while tuna cakes are warm and crisp.
Tips
- * Make sure to drain the tuna thoroughly to remove excess liquid, ensuring your tuna cakes hold together perfectly. * Don't overmix the tuna mixture, as this can lead to dense and tough cakes. * Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the tuna cakes from sticking and to make them easier to flip. * Don't overcrowd the skillet - cook the tuna cakes in batches if necessary, to ensure they cook evenly. * Prepare the slaw just before serving to ensure the carrots and bell peppers stay crunchy and fresh.
