• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 2-3
• Yields: 3 Burgers

Ingredients

• For the Burger

• 1 (200 g) can tuna in brine or 1  mineral water
• 1⁄2 red onion, diced
• 1  small carrot, grated
• 1  egg
• 1 -2  garlic clove, crushed
•  squeeze lemon juice
•  olive oil
•  salt or  pepper or  herbs

• For the Garlic Mayo

• 2  teaspoons lemon juice
• 1  garlic clove (for garlic lovers less if not!)
• 1 -2  teaspoon low-fat mayonnaise
•  black pepper

Directions

1. Combine all the burger ingredients, except the olive oil, in a large mixing bowl. Add as much or as little seasoning as you like, and stir with a fork or your hands. Once the mixture is fully combined divide into 3 parts and use you hands to create three burgers/patties. The mixture will be quite moist, place the burgers on a plate and put in the fridge for 10 minutes to set.
2. Meanwhile, combine the garlic mayo ingredients in a small bowl or mug and mix well. Add a little water if necessary for consistency.
3. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and making sure the oil is very hot add the burgers and fry on both sides on a medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes or until dark brown on both sides. Be very carefull with them to ensure they stay well formed.
4. Once cooked remove from the pan and place in a Burger bun or on a bed of spinach leaves (for wheat and carb free lovers) and drizzle the garlic mayo on top. Any left overs can be re-heated gently in a pan. Enjoy!
