Mommas Tuna Patties Recipe

	Pollymotzko / All my dishes 9 months ago My mom used to make Tuna Patties when I was growing up and then I made them when I was married. When you make them up in advance you can make sandwiches out of them later or just heat them up for a nutritious lunch or dinner. Also, I’ve substitute...

Ingredients

1 large can of tuna or crab

2 eggs

Optional seasonings: ¼ cup minced onion

½ teaspoon lemon pepper or ½ teaspoon Mrs. Dash is good too

Ritz crackers or seasoned breadcrumbs like garlic or Italian

*********************************************************************

Ritz crackers-a couple handfuls made into crumbs in a plastic bag and then rolled with a rolling pin

(Or you can use garlic seasoned breadcrumbs which works really well. Just add enough so that it blends with the egg and holds the shape of the patty in your hands.

(You can tell by the “feel” as I was telling a friend on here this afternoon. You want the patties to hold their shape but not be too wet nor fall apart from being too dry either. The more you make em’ the better you’ll get at it.)

Directions

1. Shape into small patties that will fit in the palm of your hand. Lay all the patties out on a plate and slide them in a non-stick skillet with a few tablespoons oil in the pan on medium/high heat. Cook the tuna patties about 5 minutes or so on each side or more, until they are browned and done on each side. It depends on how many crackers you added to the patties and how hot your skillet is.

2. Serve on dinner plates and serve with ketchup, barbecue sauce or tartar sauce, whichever you like.

You can double this recipe, make them up ahead of time and then freeze them or store in the meat tender for easy, healthy lunches.

I am a hug fan as well and these sound fantastic. Great post and a high 5.

OK Guys, I made 2 batches to test the difference and taste. I used a small can of tuna and a small can of salmon dividing the other ingredients between the two. The flavors are different but they are both wonderful. I can't really say which one I like best. You all need to try this test yourself. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Thanks for the creative input Martha! I really appreciate it! I'm glad you liked it so much to try both versions: Ritz crackers and breadcrumbs.

My mom (Ramona Le Pore) the creator of this yummy creation is here reading all the things that all of you said about a recipe that I grew up on. She loves this site so much I'm going to create a profile for her along with her email account and she should be on here before you can "bat an eye" as my mom says! Well done Mom!
I think I am really glad that I discovered this group for more reasons than I can count.
Mom says to all of you guys and gals:
"I'm enjoying all the wonderful recipes and whatever and just want to do more and more!"
Mom's email is: RamonaLePore@gmail.com

This will be the first of many documented recipes that my mom and I will put together that in time will appear in my cookbook.

After watching good old Alton Brown on The Food Network's Good Eats-I saw him do some Tuna Croquettes which were rolled in Japanese Panko Bread Crumbs. I have some Ean's brand panko bread crumbs in the kitchen too.

Just make the Tuna Patties as directed then roll them on some panko bread crumbs before pan frying in a little bit of oil.

Tell me how ya like these!
