Tuna fish cakes

Tuna fish cakes

Serves 4

Ingredients

2 cups golden kumara
2 cups potato
2x 185g cans of tuna in spring water
2 cups of spinach – chopped
½ cup gherkins – diced
½ medium sized red onion – VERY finely diced
1 red pepper – diced
1/2 cup of pesto
100g feta cheese
1 egg
1 cup of panko crumbs
Lemon juice to serve or a squeeze of mayo

Instructions

Chop the kumara into chunks, then the potato (ensure the potato pieces are half the size of the kumara as they take longer to cook) In a large pot of boiling water cook the kumara and potatoes for about 7 minutes until you can poke your fork through them (careful not to overcook)While these are cooking, chop the gherkin, capsicum, red onion & spinach.

Drain the tuna and mix it in with the pesto, gherkin, capsicum & red onion.

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and pour them into a mixing bowl with the spinach and mash it (you want the spinach to wilt and mix in)

Now season the mix add the tuna mix, feta, egg and stir well until everything is combined.

Make them into patties and coat the cakes in the panko crumbs.Heat a pan to a medium to low heat, add some oil and fry the cakes in batches.

Serve with a big squeeze of lemon juice or Mayo and enjoy! X
