Tuna Bacon And Sweetcorn Patties Recipes

TUNA, BACON AND SWEETCORN PATTIES

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in lightly salted water for 7-10 minutes or until tender. Drain them and mash, season and leave to cool.
• While you cook the potatoes, heat a frying pan, add the bacon and cook over a medium heat for 2 or 3 minutes.
• Add the onion and continue to cook until the onion is soft and golden the bacon is just crisping.
• Add the sweetcorn, stir over the heat for a couple of minutes then leave it to cool.
• In a bowl, mix the cooled mash and bacon mixtures together, then carefully add the tuna.
• Season to taste, then shape the mixture into 4 patties, flatten so that they are no more than 1 1/2in thick. Cover and chill until required.
• Lightly dust your patties with flour and pan-fry in a little sunflower oil for 3 or 4 minutes.
• Don't turn them too often as they can fall to bits - they are still yummy even if they do though!

TUNA & SWEETCORN FISH CAKES

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until really tender. Drain and allow to steam-dry in a colander. Tip into a bowl, season and mash. Stir in the mayonnaise, tuna, sweetcorn and chives or parsley. Shape into 4 cakes and chill until cold and firm.
• Dip each cake into the egg, letting the excess drip off, then coat in the breadcrumbs. Chill for 15 mins.
• Heat a little of the oil in a pan and gently fry the cakes for 2-3 mins on each side until golden. You may need to do this in batches - keep warm in a low oven. Serve with extra mayonnaise and salad leaves.

TUNA, SPRING ONION & SWEETCORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Mix the milk and eggs together in a jug with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp ground black pepper. Sift the flour into a bowl, make a well in the centre and pour in the egg mixture in a thin, steady stream, whisking well until combined. Stir in the sweetcorn, spring onions, lemon zest and tuna.
• Heat a drop of oil in a non-stick or cast iron frying pan over a medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan and cook until crisp and golden, about 2-3 mins, flip and repeat on the other side (you'll need to do this in batches). Keep warm in a low oven and repeat with the remaining batter.
• Serve the hot fritters with the lemon wedges for squeezing over, the soured cream and hot sauce, if using.
