It’s World Tuna Day so why not celebrate it with this simple and delicious recipe for the whole family.
Ingredients:
Large can of tuna in oil
80g of breadcrumbs
45g of grated cheddar cheese
1 large egg, beaten
2 tbsp of olive oil
Pasta shapes of your choice
1 small can of sweetcorn
Handful of frozen peas
Method:
- Put the tuna and its oil into a large bowl and mix in the breadcrumbs and grated cheese. Add the beaten egg and then season with a pinch of salt and stir again until everything is well mixed.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into twelve small balls, then chill until you’re ready to cook.
- Cook the pasta according to packet instructions and add the peas for the last couple of minutes. While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and fry the balls for ten minutes, until they’re golden brown. Remove from the pan and pat dry any remaining moisture with kitchen paper and keep warm.
- Drain the pasta, return to the pan and add the corn. Heat gently for a minute and stir continuously, until heated through. Serve up on a plate with the tuna balls and dig in!
