Sunday Supper Idea - Tuna Fish Cakes - Nelly Bellie

Hello Nelly Belliers!

Still a day of rest for me, but I did manage to cook us dinner tonight. I don't know about you but I find cooking relaxing and enjoyable, and I always know I am on the mend (for those of you who don't know I have been quite ill) when I can manage to stand in the kitchen that long. :)

I thought I would share with you what I made Chris and I for supper, because not only was it delicious but it was super easy and affordable. If you are under the weather, and you don't have someone to take care of you, or you are sick of lying around like me, then this would be a great thing to make because it doesn't take a ton of effort.

What you will need to make Tuna Fish Cakes:

• Potatoes (I used a 2 pound bag of small white potatoes)
• 3 cans of tuna (you could also substitute different types of fish if you don't like tuna)
• Parsley (2 tablespoons)
• 1 egg
• Salt and pepper
• Regular white flour (1 tablespoon to mix in and then a bit to sprinkle on a board as you are forming the fish cakes, and then a bit to coat them)
• Olive oil

How to make Tuna Fish Cakes:

1. Peel potatoes (I didn't peel mine, but it really depends on the type of potatoes and whether you mind the peel - so I'll leave that up to you) and cut potatoes and put them in a pot. Put enough water in the pot so that it just covering the potatoes. Put the pot on the stove, add some salt to the pot, and boil potatoes until cooked.
2. Finely chop parsley while potatoes are boiling.
3. When the potatoes are cooked, strain them, and then put them back in the pot and mash.
4. Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes.
5. Open your 3 cans of tuna and flake tuna in with the mashed potatoes. (i.e. break apart tuna into small pieces using your hands). Add 1 tablespoon of regular white flour. Add some salt and pepper. Mix it all up.
6. Add 1 egg and the parsley to the mixture and mix again.
7. Once mixed sprinkle some flour on a cutting board or flat surface. Form the tuna fish cake patties using your hands. Place each patty on the flour surface and lightly coat the other side that is facing up with flour as well (not too much).
8. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pan fry the tuna patties until browned and crisp, about 4 minutes on each side.

This batch will make about 10 medium size patties.

Chris has his with baked beans on the side, but you could also make a nice light salad, or in my case just eat them on their own (however, I do recommend a nice dollop of HP Sauce on the side of your plate).

ENJOY :)
