Reviewed for Make My Recipe Tag Game in the Aus/NZ Forum- Easy to make and budget firendly too. We enjoyed these today as a late lunch/afternoon snack. I used gluten-free bread and corn crumbs to make these suitable for gluten-free diet. I liked that they were healthy being mainly vege and tuna and baked in the oven. Served with a sour lite cream and seet chilli sauce combo. Photo also has been posted
