Tuna Patties

Tuna patties are a different way to serve canned tuna besides for the usual tuna sandwich. It's a lunch option for those lunches, or a yummy appetizer for a holiday lunch. Plus, they’ve got some hidden veggies in there to pack them with more nutrients!

• 3 cans tuna, drained

• 1 zucchini, peeled and grated

• 1 carrot, peeled and grated

• 1 potato, peeled and grated

• 1 shallot, minced (i used a microplane)

• 2 green onions, minced

• 2 eggs

• 1/2 cup matsa meal (or breadcrumbs)

• 2 tbsp mayo

• 1 tsp dijon

• 1/2 lemon, juiced

• Salt and pepper

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

DIRECTIONS:

1. Combine all ingredients in a medium size mixing bowl. Mix until well combined. If the mixture is too thin, add some more matsa meal.

2. Form patties and set aside.

3. Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

4. Start placing your patties in the pan. Flip after a few minutes, or until a nice golden color has formed.
