Tuna Patties

Tuna patties with whole food sides.

Mom used salmon, but every time I bought a can of salmon, it was full of bones. So I switched her recipe to tuna patties.

Ingredients:

• 6 cans of tuna in oil

• 3 eggs

• 1/2 cup of garlic herb bread crumbs

• 1 tsp marjoram

• Oil for cooking

• Flour for breading

Directions:

• Open tuna and drain 3 cans of tuna, dump into bowl. Open the other 3 cans and dump oil and tuna into bowl.

• Crack eggs into a smaller bowl, beat till mixed, and dump into tuna

• Add in marjoram and bread crumbs. Mix well. You may have to add more bread crumbs if the tuna does not stay together to form a patty.

• Heat oil at medium-high, about a 6, on an electric stove.

• Place flour in a pie plate or dish where you can flour tuna patty and flip side to side in your hands

• Grab a handful of flour in one hand and Scoop out a heaping tablespoon of tuna mixture with the other.

• Drop the tuna onto the flour in your hand. Pick up flour from the plate and top tuna with flour. Press tuna down to form a patty.

• Add in flour as needed to prevent it from sticking to your hands.

• Toss the patty back and forth in your floured hands. It is usually messy.

• When the oil has heated gently slide the tuna patty into the oil. Cook till brown and flip- about 4 minutes. Cook the other side till brown - about 2-3 minutes.

• Place on a plate that is lined with paper towels. Do not stack on each other.

• Serve with a salad and your favorite carb. Egg noodles was always a favorite when my kids where younger.
