Garlic tuna patties are a quick and delicious meal option that's perfect for lunch or dinner. These patties are made with simple, pantry-friendly ingredients like canned tuna, bread crumbs, and garlic powder, making them both convenient and flavorful. Enjoy them on their own, in a sandwich, or atop a fresh salad.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Open the can of tuna and drain any excess liquid.
- Finely chop the onion if not already done.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the drained tuna.
- Add 1/4 tsp of garlic powder to the bowl.
- Add a dash of salt.
- Add 1 tbsp of finely chopped onion.
- Add the 1/4 cup of bread crumbs.
- Crack the egg into the bowl.
- Use a fork or your hands to mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be moist but firm enough to shape into patties.
- Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into small, flat patties. You should be able to make about 4-6 patties depending on the size.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. You can add a small amount of oil if desired for extra browning.
- Once the skillet is hot, carefully place the tuna patties in the pan.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
- Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the garlic tuna patties hot, along with your favorite dipping sauce or as a part of a sandwich, salad, or main dish.
Tips:
- Ensure the tuna is well-drained to prevent the patties from becoming too moist and falling apart during cooking.
- Chill the formed patties in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes before cooking. This helps them hold their shape better while frying.
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of finely chopped fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice to the mixture.
- If you prefer a gluten-free version, you can substitute the bread crumbs with gluten-free bread crumbs or crushed gluten-free crackers.
- Cook the patties over medium heat to ensure they cook evenly and achieve a nice golden-brown crust without burning.
Perfectly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, these garlic tuna patties are sure to become a staple in your recipe collection. Simple to make and packed with flavor, they offer a great way to enjoy a nutritious meal without spending hours in the kitchen.
