Baked Tuna Corn and Asparagus Patties with a Green Salad
I always prefer to bake food rather than fry it, if possible, and these patties turned out fine, and are healthier than the fried version.
Instead of making plain tuna patties, I decided to put asparagus and fresh corn with them, giving them an added flavour.
I made the corn from fresh corn and cut the kernels off as they are far nicer and have no preservatives, however if in a hurry, use the tinned variety.
Preparation Time: 10 minutes plus fridge time
Cooking Time: 60 minutes, plus corn
Serves: 6
Ingredients
450 g potatoes, mashed with ¼ cup milk
1 can 450 g tuna in brine, drained
1 jar 340 g asparagus pieces, drained
100 g corn kernels
1 shallot or medium onion
½ tsp pepper
1 egg white
1 tsp Italian herbs
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp parsley flakes, or fresh parsley
1 cup breadcrumbs
Yogurt (optional), to serve
For the salad
1 avocado
Lettuce
Snow peas
Dressing (optional)
Method
For the salad
Chop the avocado and dip in lemon to stop it browning.
Slice the other ingredients, and mix.
Add any dressing just before serving - I simply put some oil, balsamic vinegar and mustard into the dressing.
For the patties
Spread the breadcrumbs onto baking paper on a baking tray.
Preheat the oven to 200°/180° fan forced, and bake for about 10 minutes or until they start to brown.
Meanwhile cook the corn, which I did in the microwave for about 7 minutes, and let it cool.
Strip the kernels off the fresh corn and separate them.
Just cut the kernels off the corn with a sharp knife
Put all the other ingredients (apart from breadcrumbs) into a large bowl and mix well to combine.
Using your hands, shape this mixture into patties, and I made them about 8 cms across.
Roll the patties in the baked breadcrumbs to cover them.
Put them in the fridge for about an hour.
Put on baking paper on a tray, and bake for about 50 minutes at 180°/160° fan forced, or until browned, turning them over half way through the cooking.
Serve with the salad and yogurt (optional).
