TUNA FISH PATTIES

Tuna Fish Patties image

This is a great recipe I came up with to get rid of leftover bread. I generally use the contents of my vegetable drawer here so I kind of throw in whatever I have at the time, so you can use your own judgment. They taste really nice when eaten with sour cream or low-fat mayo or even on their own - though my husband prefers ketchup. I generally use this recipe as a guideline, so have fun with it!

Ingredients

3 slices hearty country bread
3 cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
¼ cup fresh spinach leaves
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked
6 mushrooms, diced
1 zucchini, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
2 eggs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, or more to taste
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

Steps:

Soak bread in water in a large shallow dish until softened completely; remove from dish and squeeze as much water from bread as possible.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, spinach, and garlic in the hot oil until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
Mix the onion mixture with softened bread, tuna, mushrooms, zucchini, celery, eggs, dill, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano in a large bowl until combined. Form the mixture into about 24 thin, palm-size patties.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the patties in the skillet until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
