Ingredients

Tuna Patties

400g tin tuna in spring water, drained

1 teaspoon dried dill

½ cup almond meal

1 large egg

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 small onion finely chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Tzatziki (see recipe below)

Lemon wedges and salad to serve

Tzatziki

2 cups (500g) Greek yoghurt, reduced fat

1 small cucumber, chopped finely

1 small clove garlic

1 Tablespoon finely chopped mint

1 Tablespoon finely chopped dill

2 teaspoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed

Freshly ground black pepper and salt

Method

  1. Mash the tuna with a fork and then add all the other ingredients (except the olive oil). Mix well and form into 8 small patties. Refrigerate for a few hours so patties become firm.
  2. Whilst patties are in the refrigerator, make the tzatziki. Place all tzatziki ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine. Cover and refrigerate.
  3. Brush a large frying pan with olive oil. Place patties in the pan and cook on medium heat for 4 minutes. Turn patties over carefully and cook for a further 4 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Serve 2 patties per person with 2 Tablespoons Tzatziki, a lemon wedge and a cup of salad leaves (or steamed vegetables).
