INGREDIENTS

REMEMBER TO

1 x 415g tinned MSC certified John West tuna - well drained
500g White & sweet potatoes, steamed, cooled, loosely mashed
110g jar capers, well drained or 50g capers
1 bunch dill, leaves only, diced
5 large spring onions, finely sliced
50g Gherkins, drained, finely diced
½ bunch chives, finely diced
50-100g breadcrumbs, to add as you go
3 free-range eggs, lightly beaten
White pepper, to taste
Salt, Murray River, to taste

To fry
100g Extra Virgin Olive Oil
100g Butter

To Serve
Whole free-range egg mayonnaise

Let's cook!

STEP 1

In a large bowl combine all ingredients except breadcrumbs.

STEP 2

Add enough breadcrumbs to just combine, not so much to make the mixture dry and crumbly – alongside the egg they acting as a binder.

STEP 3

Shape mixture into patties around 7cm in diameter, 4cm thick. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

STEP 4

Preheat oil and butter to medium high in a large heavy based fry pan. Have cooling rack and paper towel on hand to drain excess oil.

STEP 5

Fry until golden and flip once in batches until cooked through. Drain well and serve whilst hot and crunchy on the outside.

STEP 6

Serve with mayonnaise for dipping, green salad or serve patties in lettuce cups.
