TUNA FISH PATTIES

TUNA FISH PATTIES

Patties an old family favourite with a lemony flavour and yellow in colour. These patties are gluten free, paleo friendly and easy to make. Simple whole food.

Poor old white potatoes get a bad wrap but I like them and kids like them they have to be better than a packet of deb instant mash or a packet of potato chips! If you are going to eat white potatoes go for the red skinned variety they are slightly healthier.

The only way I can eat tuna is if it is in something such as :

  • tuna patties
  • tuna mornay

that’s about it really I can not eat it on its own the smell alone puts me off but put into something I dont have a problem with eating it maybe its just all psychological! Does anyone else have this problem, or am I the only one??

TUNA FISH PATTIES-7

I wouldn’t say these are quick to make but they are easy and full of flavour there are so many variations you could do such as

  1. use sweet potatoes instead
  2. use fennel
  3. add chives
  4. add cooked cauliflower

the list could go on for a while.

Kids of all ages usually like these apart from mine (I’m sure they are the only ones) they will eat them but they are not that fussed, I probably shouldn’t be writing this but I like to keep it real and I know other kids like them.

My mum use to make these regularly when my brother and I were growing up probably because they are really economical to make and they are good for you. The only thing I don’t get and still don’t really is how you can put  fish in a can its obviously the same principle as any other canned food but I have problems getting my head around fish in a can! (I still eat it though otherwise I wouldn’t be doing a post about Tuna Fish Patties.)

I only use sustainable caught tuna if you look on the tins it will tell you if it has been fished sustainably usually pole line fishing.
