Recipe Tuna Patties
Tuna, Quinoa and Vegetable Patties
This week’s Fresh and Fast Friday Recipe is a spin on a solid favorite.
I will put it out there and say that I have made tuna patties many times and they have tasted ok. These are the best version I have made.
The texture was crispy on the outside and soft (but not mushy) on the inside. They have a were very tasty and happily finished off for dinner, with only a few to squabble over for lunch the next day.

I think I’ll try these, but I’ll usual ‘normal’ flour, just to save seeking out another ingredient. Looks good!
They will work fine with normal flour Sarah, just use slightly less. You should be able to tell by the texture of the mix.
Hello, I like the idea of having a range of recipes to look at on a Friday, inspiration for the weekend and for next week.
Hi Seana, thanks for your comment. I appreciate your feedback. K
What a great recipe! I have fish in the fridge (although not tuna) so I might give these a go 🙂
I am yet to try one myself but have them bookmarked and added to my list of recipes to try. I want to add to my quick recipes.
I made these last night, my 10 month old loved them! I would probably add a few herbs for flavour next time, also I’m not sure if we have different sized table spoons, but I ended up with 30 patties, not 16! Thanks for the excellent idea, I’ll definitely be making them again, particularly when I have fructose malabsorbant friends over.
Hi Chris, thank you so much for your feedback. I love hearing that people have made and enjoyed one of my recipes. It makes my day 🙂 Thanks for letting me know about the sizes. I have rechecked my recipe and I haven’t written it very clearly so I aplogise for that. I use a big old spoon I have and scoop out a heap of the mix and then form them in a bowl, I estimated (very badly!) the amount as I make larger ones for Mr Fresh and little ones for the boys. I apologise for the inaccurate measure – the mix did make 16 for me but I will make them again soon and make the spoon measurement clearer and update the quantity.
