Tuna Cakes

This is a simple recipe that is an interesting way to use canned tuna. 

Ingredients:

one can of canned tuna

one large potato mashed

one small onion diced

two cloves of garlic minced

1/4 cup of red bell pepper diced

three eggs

flour

bread crumbs

salt 

pepper

hot sauce 

oil 

Method: 

First you should cut the large potato into chunks and put in a pot of water to cook. When the potatoes are cooked, drain the potatoes and mash them with a potato masher. Next prepare the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic. In a saute pan, cook the vegetables and garlic for about 5 minutes or until they are soft. In a mixing bowl, combine the can of tuna, mashed potato, two eggs, about a cup of bread crumbs, the sauteed vegetables, garlic, teaspoon of hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Combine all the ingredients until all of the ingredients are combined. Next step you should make a frying station. In one bowl you should put some flour. In the second bowl you should whisk one egg. In the third bowl you should place the bread crumbs. To make the tuna cakes, form the mixture into a patty and place first into the flour, then the egg, and finally into the bread crumbs. When you have used all of the tuna mixture you are ready to fry them. In a frying pan with enough oil to cover about a fourth of the way up the patties you may begin to fry the tuna cakes. Fry the tuna cakes for about 3 minutes per side, or until each side is golden brown. Serve with a nice side salad and you have an easy lunch or a light dinner. Enjoy!
