Croquetas De Atún - Tuna Fish Balls image

This is a simple recipe based that most of children will like. These fish balls can be served as appetizer with a salsa sauce or as starter with the suggested vegetable mix (salad). I used potatoes that after boiling, peeling and mashing they hold together. If you don't have this kind of potatoes, please add 1 egg and some 2 or tablespoon of flour.

  • Form walnuts sized balls, coat first with egg and then with the breadcrumbs. Flat them slightly and place them on a dish.

  • Fry the meatball on the first size when golden brown, turn, add 2 tablespoon oil and brown the second size.
  • For the serving suggestion combine all the vegetable in a bowls toss, eventually add some salt (I didn't). Serve with lemon and olive oil.
