Ingredients
- 12 oz tuna
- 2 eggs
- 3 tbsp egg substitute
- 1 tbsp chili sauce
- 1-2 cups oatmeal (to texture)
- Ground pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Prepare the Mixture:
- Combine tuna, eggs, egg substitute, and chili sauce in a large bowl. Mix well until evenly combined.
-
Add Oatmeal:
- Gradually mix in oatmeal, about 1/4 cup at a time, until the mixture reaches a texture that can be easily formed into patties. It should be moist but not dripping.
-
Chill (Optional):
- For easier handling, refrigerate the mixture for 10 minutes.
-
Prepare Broiler Pan:
- Preheat the broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil and coat it with cooking spray.
-
Form Patties:
- Take a handful of the mixture and form it into a ball with your hands. Flatten it gently to form a patty shape. Ensure the patties are not too thick to ensure even cooking.
-
Broil the Patties:
- Place the patties on the prepared broiler pan. Broil for about 8 minutes or until the top starts to brown.
-
Flip and Cook:
- Carefully flip the patties and continue to broil for another 6 minutes or until the other side is browned and the patties are cooked through.
-
Serve:
- Remove from the broiler and serve immediately. Enjoy your tangy tuna patties either on their own or in a sandwich!
Tips:
-
Freezing: These patties freeze well. After cooking, let them cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe container with parchment paper between layers. Reheat in the microwave for a quick snack or meal.
-
Variations: Feel free to customize these patties by adding herbs, spices, or other ingredients like diced vegetables to suit your taste.
