Gluten-Free Tuna Patties: Quick and Delicious No-Bread Recipe…

Tuna patties are a delight, and for this recipe, we won’t need bread. We’ll be using potatoes, making this unique dish rich in flavor and aroma. You can serve them with a simple salad as a family main course or as finger food appetizers before dinner. Olives, Parmesan, and parsley combine to make these little gems tasty and aromatic. They are simple and quick to make and can be enjoyed hot, warm, or cold. Once ready, they can be stored for up to two days in a refrigerator, well-sealed in a suitable container.

Ingredients:

  • 300 grams (10.5 oz) potatoes
  • 250 grams (8.8 oz) tuna (drained)
  • 50 grams (1.7 oz) Parmesan cheese
  • 50 grams (1.7 oz) olives
  • 1 small clove of garlic
  • A few parsley leaves
  • Salt and pepper
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Breadcrumbs (as needed)
  • These quantities will yield 4 servings.

How to make Gluten-Free Tuna Patties: Quick and Delicious No-Bread Recipe

  1. Wash the potatoes, cut them, and place them in a pot filled with slightly salted water.
  2. Bring to a boil and cook for about 30 minutes (depending on the size of the potatoes). They should be very soft.
  3. Once cooked, drain and peel the potatoes, then mash them with a potato masher. Gather them in a mixing bowl.
  4. Drain the tuna and add it to the potatoes. Finely chop the parsley, crush the garlic, grate the Parmesan, chop the olives, and place everything in the bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then mix everything until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.
  5. Moisten your hands and take a walnut-sized amount of the mixture. Form a patty and place it on a tray. Continue this process until all ingredients are used up.
  6. Roll the patties in breadcrumbs, ensuring they are perfectly coated.
  7. Heat the oil and fry the patties until they are perfectly golden.
  8. Remove them from the heat, first place them on absorbent paper, then on a serving plate. Let them cool slightly before serving.
