Also, all of the veggies are for the obvious reason to get her to eat a lot of vegetables as well!
Ingredients:
2 large cans of tuna in water, drained (about 2 cups of tuna)
1/2 cup parsnips, grated
1 cup carrots, grated
1/4 cup celery, grated
1/4 cup onion, chopped very finely
1 clove garlic, chopped very finely
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped finely
1 cup corn, copped roughly (I use frozen and thaw in the microwave)
1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
2 tsp paprika
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup mayonaise
3/4 cup bread crumbs
3 eggs
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
Take parsnips, carrot, celery, onion and garlic and sautee in a little olive oil until soft.
In a bowl, break the tuna down in to small pieces and add in the red pepper, corn, Old Bay, paprika, salt, mayo, eggs, olive oil, breadcrumbs and softened vegetables. Mix together well.
Heat a sautee pan over medium heat and wipe bottom with a little oil. Make patties about 3/8 inch thick and 2-3 inches in diameter. Cook for 3-4 minutes and flip, cooking 3-4 minutes more. Both sides should be golden brown.
You can also add in a little hot pepper (which I like). And, if the patties fall apart, you can add a little milk plus more breadcrumbs to help hold it together.
