Tuna Cakes

We all know we need to eat more fish, but it gets boring. The same old fish and chips every week. So I decided to try something new. I call it, Tuna Cakes. I decided to use tuna, because it is high in omega 3 fatty acids. 

Omega 3 is such a wonderful supplement with great health benefits. It could lower cholesterol, reduce high blood pressure, ease joint pains, fight wrinkles, improve memory and could even boost your mood.

Ingredients:

200g mashed potatoes

2 tins of Tuna

1 egg

1 teaspoon parsley

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Pinch of Paprika (You could add more if you like hot food)

Salt to taste.

Method:

Add all the ingredients together, mix well.

Add about 5ml of olive oil in a very hot pan.

Scoop a tablespoon of the mixture into the pan and press down to flatten it slightly.

Leave it for about 3 minutes per side, or until it’s golden brown.

This mixture will make about 8 fish cakes.

I served these Tuna cakes with some sweet chilli sauce. You could serve this hot or cold, next time I might add a bit of spring onion to the mixture. Overall this is a healthy fun recipe, I hope you enjoy it!

Tuna Bake

Last week was one of those “mad-rush-to-nowhere” weeks. The result? I was feeling tired, cranky and most of all not in the mood to cook anything. So I turned to left overs.

I had some steamed broccoli and rice over from the previous night. So I decided to try something new. A Tuna bake. It tasted real nice, oh and there was no left overs :)

It tastes good, promise :)

Tuna Bake

1 tin of Shredded Tuna

1 small onion diced

1 cup of cooked rice

200g of cooked broccoli (cut into smaller pieces)

2 eggs

1 cup of milk

1 tablespoon of Mayonnaise

Salt and Pepper

Some grated cheddar/parmesan cheese

Now comes the easy part, mix together the tuna, onion and rice. Add the eggs, milk, mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Mix well. Lastly add the broccoli, mix gently careful not to break the broccoli too much.

Put it all in an oven dish, cover with some grated cheese and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes.

Add a salad and enjoy.
