Best Delicious Tuna Cakes With Spicy Jalapeno Sauce Recipes

SPICY TUNA CAKES RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F, and use a brush to grease a 12-cup regular sized muffin tin with one tablespoon of melted ghee. In a large bowl, mix together the tuna, scallions, and cilantro. Add the mashed sweet potato to the tuna mixture, and gently combine. Then, mix in the lemon zest, jalapeño, the remaining two tablespoons of ghee, eggs, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (Not sure if you've added enough salt and pepper? Take a small portion and fry up a little pancake to see if the seasoning is right!) I use my hands to mix everything together because that way I can make sure that the fish chunks aren't overly broken up. Scoop a quarter cup of the mixture into each greased muffin tin cup and flatten with the back of a spoon. Bake the tuna cakes for 20-25 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out cleanly. Transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool. The easiest way I've found to get them out is to put the wire rack on top of the muffin tin, flip everything upside-down, and tap them gently on the counter. Voilà! Grab a lemon wedge and squeeze some juice on your tuna cake before your pop it in your mouth. They're fantastic right out of the oven. Alternatively, store them in the fridge, and when you're ready to eat, skillet-fry the cakes in some melted fat over medium heat. Crisp the edges, and you're good to go.

DELICIOUS TUNA CAKES WITH SPICY JALAPENO SAUCE

Steps:

• TUNA CAKES: Dice vegetables then mix ingredients. You can make patties right away, but I find if i let the mix sit for at least 30 minutes beforehand, it all bonds and makes much better patties. I feel it also allows the flavors in the vegetables to permeate the mix. It is OK to make this mix the night before use, but please store in an air tight container and stir mix prior to making patties.
• Pour a tbs or two of olive oil in frying pan, just enough to coat pan and set heat to medium high.
• Coat patties with additional breadcrumbs just prior to setting in skillet to fry. Cook till golden brown (approx. five minutes on each side).
• SAUCE: Mix ingredients and enjoy atop your tuna cake.
• SERVING SUGGESTION: I love these served on a toasted onion roll/bun, but they are delicious all by themselves. The sauce truly elevates the flavor to a new level.
• I will add a photo next time I make these. Posting this recipe was an after thought, and quite honestly, it seems no matter how many I make they all disappear.
• NOTES:.
• There is something wonderful about Kraft's Cracked Pepper Mayonnaise. I have never cared for any mayonnaise (except for its mandatory use in egg and/or tuna salad), but this product is just fantastic. I use it it flavor and thicken soups, for sauces, directly on sandwiches (which i would never do with the old stuff). If you haven't tried it, please do. I think you will love it. And, no, I have no interest in their company whatsoever, I just LOVE the product. (-:.
