A fun way to make canned tuna taste less like canned tuna. These thin tuna patties are tasty enough to be eaten plain or in a pita pocket with lettuce and tomato.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 1 (5 ounce) can light tuna in water, drained

  • 1 egg

  • ⅔ cup quick-cooking oats

  • 3 tablespoons barbeque sauce

  • 3 tablespoons chopped green onion

  • ½ teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste

  • ½ teaspoon dried savory

  • 1 pinch salt

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, stir together the tuna, egg and oats until blended. Mix in the barbeque sauce, green onion, hot pepper sauce, savory, and salt.

  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Spoon tablespoonfuls of the tuna mixture into the pan, and flatten slightly. Smaller patties hold together better. Cook until browned on each side, about 3 minutes per side.
