This is a family fav around here.
It's the perfect make-ahead accompaniment
It makes a great appetizer
It fits right into a finger-food party menu
AND it's another one of my "one pot mild to spicy" dish so
I can cater to the babies and the hubby without cooking 2 separate dishes
What you'll need:
2 cans of Tuna (my fav is the Albacore)
2 medium mashed potatoes (this is my binder) Read recipe for alternative
Finely Chopped:
1/2 red onion
1/2 bunch cilantro
2 cloves of Garlic
1 Thai chili (or more as per taste)
1/2 tsp turmeric
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp vinegar or lemon
To Fry:
1 egg
Breadcrumbs
Oil
First:
Combine all your ingredients together (except the egg, breadcrumbs and oil)
Use the thai chilli as per your taste. I usually use 1/2 for the kiddos batch and then add 3-4 for the hubby's batch
Variation:
I used Boiled Potato as my binder, an alternative is to replace the potato with a slice of bread (soaked with a little water and then squeezed) + 1 egg.
Next:
Shape your cutlets into little patties! For finger-food parties, make them smaller rounds or if you want to go fancier, you can shape them into little rolls.
Last:
Heat 1/2 up of oil in a pan
In a bowl, beat an egg with a splash of water making an egg wash.
Next, dip the cutlet in the egg wash, roll it in the breadcrumbs and fry it on each side until they are golden brown on each side
These taste great by themselves OR dipped in Ketchup...Enjoy
