Tuna Croquettes
Servings: 0
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
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.
