Curried Tuna Cakes

Curried Tuna Cakes

This recipe easily scales up so if you're cooking for more than two, double everything and cook in two batches on the stovetop!

Course Main Course
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 2 people

Ingredients

  • 1 can tuna packed in water drained
  • 1/2 small onion minced
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne optional

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl and let sit briefly. Meanwhile, melt enough coconut oil (or red palm oil for delightfully ocher cakes) to generously coat the bottom of a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Take small amounts of the tuna mixture and form into petite little pucks, maybe about three tablespoons worth.
  3. Fill the pan and let cook for about 4 minutes per side, turning down the heat if necessary.
  4. Drain on a paper towel. Sprinkle with additional salt and serve with cilantro leaves, a fruity chutney or some fermented hot sauce, you know, whatever your little tuna cakes desire that day.
  5. Serves 2 as a main course.

Recipe Notes

I like to use this fragrant curry powder.
