Savory Tuna Fish Cakes: A Delectable Seafood Treat

Ingredients

• 3 slices of rustic country bread
• 3 cups of water
• 1 generous tablespoon of flavorful olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• A handful of fresh spinach leaves (if desired)
• 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
• 2 cans of flaked tuna (5 ounces each), drained
• 6 mushrooms, diced (if desired)
• 1 zucchini, diced (if desired)
• 1 celery stalk, diced (if desired)
• 2 eggs
• A tablespoon of freshly chopped dill, adjust to taste (if desired)
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• A pinch of ground black pepper
• A hint of dried basil
• A touch of oregano
• A drizzle of olive oil, as needed

Step 1

Begin by soaking the bread in water in a spacious dish until it becomes completely soft. Once softened, take the bread out of the dish and carefully squeeze out excess water.

Step 2

In a non-stick skillet, heat up a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Proceed to sauté the onion, spinach, and garlic in the fragrant oil until the onion turns tender, which usually takes about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Next, blend the sautéed onion mixture with the softened bread, along with tuna, mushrooms, zucchini, celery, eggs, dill, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano in a generously sized bowl. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. Shape the mixture into approximately 24 thin, palm-sized patties.

Step 4

Using the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the patties in the skillet until they are fully cooked, typically 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve your delicious, flavorful patties warm and enjoy!
