Robert’s Tuna Cakes

by | Nov 10, 2018 | Let’s Eat!

I don’t know about your family but my kids love tuna cakes. I have to admit that we tend to have at least one tuna recipe a week.  What can I say?  I’m frugal.

This is a recipe that my husband came up with when we had some onions left in the bottom of the jar of our homemade pickles.  Now, you can always substitute some regular onions for the pickled ones or maybe some shallots but believe me, those little pickled onions give these babies a little extra flavor layer.

We tend to eyeball many of our measurements so most of the amounts in this recipe are estimates so feel free to adjust to taste. We combine all the ingredients and make little patties. Here. we coat them corn meal. Then fry them in oil.
Don’t those look yummy?  My kids devour them.
