Makes 10 patties
Ingredients:
• 2 cans (5–6 oz each) Tuna, drained (in water or oil)
• 1 cup (90g) Rolled oats (or quick oats, see notes)
• 2 large eggs
• ½ large onion, finely grated
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ¼ bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped
• ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
• 2–3 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Prep the ingredients: Drain tuna well and place in a large mixing bowl. Grate the onion, mince the garlic, and finely chop parsley. Add to the bowl.
2. Prepare the oats: Add the oats to a food processor or a blender and blend into a coarse flour (about 1–2 minutes). Add to the bowl.
3. Combine the mixture: Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes. In a small bowl, beat the eggs, then pour them into the tuna mixture. Mix everything until well combined. Let the mixture rest for 5–10 minutes to hydrate the oats.
4. Shape the patties: Using damp hands, form the mixture into 10 patties.
5. Cook (choose your method):
a. Pan-fry: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy.
b. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly brush or spray with oil. Bake for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway, until lightly golden.
