Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 5 oz. cans tuna in water
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 Tbs diced onion
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 1/2 Tbs garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried dill
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of black pepper
  • dash red pepper optional
  • 2 Tbs grapeseed oil or spray

Method
 

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl
  2. Mix until egg and flour are thoroughly combined with all the ingredients
  3. Use a ¼ measuring cup to divide the mix into 6 equal cakes
  4. Roll the ¼ cup of tuna mix in your hands to form a seamless ball
  5. Flatten the ball, sealing any cracked edges that may appear when flattening (I flatten them just enough to ensure the cakes cook through without burning. The circle of the cake should be a little bigger than the ¼ c scoop). 
  6. Heat a flat pan or griddle on med-high heat for 2 minutes 
  7. Spray or lightly brush the griddle with oil after it has heated
  8. Place tuna cakes on the fully heated pan and cook on each side for 3 minutes, or until golden brown with a slight charring
  9. Eat individually or serve on a bun or in a pita
