Moroccan Tuna Patties

Tisme's Note:

I got this recipe from Greenseas Tuna. DS hates tuna and the the rest of us love tuna patties so its only when DS is not home that I can make anything with tuna in it. This recipe is a different version of making tuna patties and even though they are a little different to the normal tuna patties, they are delicious especially served with a nice side salad! The recipe calls for frying the patties but I cooked mine in the oven and they were fantastic!

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• 2 medium potatoes, boiled, mashed and slightly cooled
• 425 g tuna in water, drained
• 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumb
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup natural yoghurt
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind

Directions:

1. Combine the cooled mashed potato, drained tuna, breadcrumbs, egg, half the coriander and spices. Mix together well.
2. Form into 8 patties and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
3. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat, cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden.
4. Combine yoghurt, lemon rind and remaining coriander in a small bowl, mixing well.
5. Serve the patties with yoghurt sauce and a nice crisp salad.

This recipe made 8 tasty tuna patties. I also cooked them in the oven and found them just a little dry, but the yoghurt sauce gave them a refreshing flavour. Easy to prepare. Thanks for sharing.

Yum! I used egg replacer to replace the real egg and I had to add more breadcrumbs (the patties would hold). I made six very large patties, I think two patties for a main dish was perfect for us. To cook them I used a non stick pan but added a little more then one tablespoon of olive oil, I found by doing this they browned better. The flavour really yummy, mild enough for Little Miss (DD) to enjoy it as well. I served mine with the yoghurt sauce, hot Moroccan sauce and a crisp salad. Thank you Tisme
