Tuna Patties Recipe

I love tuna patties. I like them alone or as sandwich filling, either way, they’re something of a comfort food for me.

• 1 can tuna (any kind works here, just drain first)
• 1/2 onion, chopped into small pieces
• 4 ounces mushrooms, chopped into small pieces
• 1 celery stalk, chopped into small pieces
• 1/3 cup crushed crackers or bread crumbs
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons oil

1. Mix all ingredients except oil.
2. Shape into patties
3. Heat oil on medium heat in a frying pan
4. Cook patties about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they’re as brown as you’d like. I like mine a little darker and crispier.

Note: You can serve these alone or melt some cheese over them on a sandwich. My SO likes it when I make a gravy by heating a can of cream of mushroom soup, a little bit of milk, a little bit of cheese and some chopped parsley or dill.

My son loves to help me cook. Here he was using the rolling pin to crush the crackers inside a baggie.
