- 2 -3 potatoes
- 1 onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vegemite, Promite or 1 tablespoon stock, powder
- 1 small carrot, grated
- 100 g sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 (275 g) can corn kernels
- 1 (425 g) can tuna
- 2 eggs
- 12 teaspoon basil
- 12 teaspoon oregano
- 12 teaspoon thyme
- 12 teaspoon rosemary
- 12 teaspoon parsley
- salt and pepper
- breadcrumbs
Method
- Boil potatoes either in a microwave or on a stove top.
- While they're boiling chop the onions and fry them in olive oil until soft.
- Add Promite or Vegemite or stock and mixed herbs, stirring until the ingredients have blended together.
- Then add the carrot and corn kernels, frying for a further two minutes.
- Preheat oven to 220C (428F).
- Strain potatoes and mash.
- Add the ingredients from the frying pan and mix with a fork.
- Strain the tuna and add it to the mix, along with the eggs and the cheese.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix it all in and let the mixture sit for up to an hour.
- Form the mixture into 8-12 flat patties and roll them in the breadcrumbs.
- Place them on a lightly oiled baking tray, then turn them over so there's a little oil on both sides.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, then turn and bake for a further 10-15 minutes.
- The tuna patties should be slightly brown on both sides when they're ready.
- The patties can alternatively be fried in a pan or on the barbecue for a tasty, albeit slightly less healthy quick meal.
- Baking them in the oven gives a very crisp outer shell with a soft centre.
