Ingredients:
Crispy tuna burgers
·
1⁄3 lb canned tuna in water, drained
·
3 tbsp mayonnaise or vegan mayonnaise
·
½ large egg
·
½ tbsp garlic powder
·
½ tbsp onion powder
·
1⁄8 tsp salt
·
1⁄8 tsp ground black pepper
·
¾ tbsp olive oil, divided, for frying
Garnish
·
½ (2 oz.) tomato, thinly sliced
·
¾ oz. (6 tbsp) leafy greens or lettuce
·
1 tbsp mayonnaise or vegan mayonnaise
Instructions:
—
Mix the ingredients together (minus the oil) in
a medium-sized bowl. Shape the mixture into small burgers, about 2 inches (5
cm) wide and 0.4 inch (1 cm) thick.
—
Pan-fry the burgers in batches. Add enough oil
to coat the base of a large frying pan. Once the oil becomes hot over medium
heat, place the tuna patties in the pan, lightly pressing the surfaces with a
spatula. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
—
To serve, add a few lettuce leaves to each
plate, and top each leaf with a tuna burger, tomato slice, and a dollop of
mayonnaise (3 burgers, per portion). Salt and pepper to taste.
Tip
To make the burgers extra crispy, add 1.5 cup (170 g) of
shredded cheese to the tuna burger mix.
