Course: Appetizer
Keyword: Croquettes

Ingredients

  • 2 cans  tuna, well drained
  • 1/2 small onion, minced
  • 2 stalks celery, minced
  • 1 cup bread crumbs, divided
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • oil

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the tuna, onion, celery, 1/3 c. bread crumbs, eggs and seasonings. Stir until fully combined. (I love my Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls Set With Lids for easy prep and storage!)
  • Pour remaining 2/3 c. bread crumbs into a shallow dish. Pat about a tablespoon worth of tuna mixture into a round patty. Cover both sides with bread crumbs.
  • Pour enough oil into a skillet to cover the bottom. Heat over medium heat. Add the breaded patties and cook until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Notes

tuna cakes
Our favorite dip to serve with these Tuna Croquettes is a simple sauce of mayonnaise and mustard. Use about 1 tablespoon of mustard for each 1/4 cup of mayonnaise. So simple but so good, and it is perfect with the tuna!
Also, this mixture tastes great formed into larger patties, fried as described above  and served on a bun as a tuna burger.
