Tuna and Corn Fritters

amanda l b's Note:

These little fritters - or 'tuna pancakes' as my 5 year old calls them, are fast and nutricious - and loved by big and little people alike - especially my very fussy 5 year old. You can even can add sweet chilli sauce and some fresh coriander to give them an Asian flavour.

Really nice. Doubled up the recipe to make about 8 patties in the end and put some coriander instead of parsley. I agree that you want to keep them on one side for a bit longer to let them keep consistency, also a good "flipper" to turn them quick is a good idea :-)

I used a 425g tin of Tuna and a 425g tin of Creamed Corn (that's what was in my cupboard) I used 4 eggs 4 tablespoons of flour, 4 tablespoons of cheese and 1 onion and they turned out absolutely beautifully, the whole family practically breathed them in!! Healthy and Delicious

Absolutely loved the flavor (and health) of these! I had a bit of trouble getting my first batch to stay in patty form...got more of a mush. For the second batch, I cooked them a bit longer (more like 5min per side) and they held together a bit better. Next time I might add a bit more flour though. Try this! It's awesome!
