Tuna Patties
A meal for 2 for under $5.00
INGREDIENTS
- 2 medium size potatoes
- 1 tin flavoured tuna (tomato & basil)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- Breadcrumbs
- Oil
- 1 cup Rice, uncooked
METHOD
Peel and chop potatoes. Place in small saucepan with hot water and a pinch of salt. Cook on high heat until the potatoes are soft. Drain well. Mash plain potato. Drain the tin of tuna well and using a fork mix well in the potato. Press down and place in refrigerator for 10 minutes. This takes the heat out of the potato and helps bind the ingredients. Once cool divide mixture into 4 even balls pressing down gently. Beat egg in a small bowl, spread crumbs in another bowl. Carefully roll the tuna patties into the egg then the breadcrumbs. Press again. Roll the patties once more into the egg and crumbs. This gives the patties a nice thick coat of crumbs. Cook rice as per packet directions or use a rice cooker. Place in freezer while the oil heats in a frypan. Shallow fry the patties turning over once till light brown. Drain well on paper towel.
Serve on a bed of rice with sweet chilli sauce.
Try one of AntJan Sauces drizzled over the top of each patty.
Suitable to freeze.
Microwave potato only.
