A delightful twist on classic tuna cakes, these savory patties are packed with flavor and perfect for a quick meal.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant and lightly golden.
Avoid burning the garlic by keeping the heat moderate and stirring frequently.
In a mixing bowl, combine the tuna, egg, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, basil, and sea salt. Mix gently to incorporate all ingredients while keeping some tuna chunks intact.
Mixing gently helps maintain a pleasant texture in the patties.
Add the sautéed garlic to the mixture and stir to combine.
Ensure the garlic is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Shape the mixture into patties of your desired size.
Use slightly wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Heat the remaining olive oil in the same frying pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Serve the patties warm with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an elegant touch.
