This easy recipe has more vegetables in it than most, but my kids LOVE these! It's extra tasty with the dipping sauce. We usually serve it with corn and peas on the side. If you haven't got a red pepper, yellow works just as well, and makes it very pretty, too. Making them bite-size makes them look more upscale, and suitable as a cool grown-up party appetizer, served on a bed of flat parsley leaves. It works great with canned salmon, too. Ingredients:
1 (6 ounce) can tuna |
1 egg |
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs |
1/4 cup diced onion |
1/4 diced celery |
1/4 cup diced red pepper |
1/4 cup mayonnaise |
1/2 teaspoon dill |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 dash worcestershire sauce |
1 dash hot sauce (optional) |
2 tablespoons chili sauce (optional) |
1/3 cup mayonnaise |
dijon mustard, to taste |
Directions:
1. To make patties: stir all ingredients together, making sure the mixture is combined enough to hold together well.
2. Spoon mixture into four even lumps on preheated griddle (350 deg.) or heated pan (medium heat). Press gently with spatula to flatten into patties.
3. Cook until browned on one side, then flip to cook other side. Actual cooking time will depend on thickness of patties.
4. Serve warm or cold with sauce.
5. To make sauce: blend mayonnaise with dijon mustard. My kids like it mild, so a teaspoon or two is all I use.
