Tuna Bacon And Sweetcorn Patties Recipes

Steps:

• Beat eggs and lemon juice in a bowl; stir in Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs to make a paste. Fold in tuna and onion until well-mixed. Season with black pepper. Shape tuna mixture into eight 1-inch-thick patties.
• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; fry patties until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/ gas 7. Lay the pastry out on a baking sheet. Pinch up the edges to form a border, pressing firmly into the corners. Prick the centre all over with a fork and pop in the oven for 10-15 mins.
• Meanwhile, mix the tuna and sweetcorn in a bowl and season.
• Remove the pastry from the oven, pressing the centre down with the back of a fork, as it will have puffed up a bit. Spread the crème fraîche across centre, spoon the tuna mix on top, then sprinkle over the cheese. Bake for 10-15 mins more, until golden, puffed up and cooked though. Sprinkle with chives and cut into quarters.

Steps:

• Mix the milk and eggs together in a jug with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp ground black pepper. Sift the flour into a bowl, make a well in the centre and pour in the egg mixture in a thin, steady stream, whisking well until combined. Stir in the sweetcorn, spring onions, lemon zest and tuna.
• Heat a drop of oil in a non-stick or cast iron frying pan over a medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan and cook until crisp and golden, about 2-3 mins, flip and repeat on the other side (you'll need to do this in batches). Keep warm in a low oven and repeat with the remaining batter.
• Serve the hot fritters with the lemon wedges for squeezing over, the soured cream and hot sauce, if using.

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until really tender. Drain and allow to steam-dry in a colander. Tip into a bowl, season and mash. Stir in the mayonnaise, tuna, sweetcorn and chives or parsley. Shape into 4 cakes and chill until cold and firm.
• Dip each cake into the egg, letting the excess drip off, then coat in the breadcrumbs. Chill for 15 mins.
• Heat a little of the oil in a pan and gently fry the cakes for 2-3 mins on each side until golden. You may need to do this in batches - keep warm in a low oven. Serve with extra mayonnaise and salad leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/gas mark 6
• Cook the pasta according to packet instructions and drain well.
• Heat the oil in a pan and fry the mushrooms and chopped bacon for 2 - 3 minutes then transfer to a large bowl along with the drained pasta. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl, reserving about a 1/3 of the cheese. Mix well.
• Pour the mix into a large oven dish and top with the rest of the cheese. Place in the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is golden brown on top (you may wish to finish off by browning under the grill for 2 minutes).
• Remove from oven, garnish with chopped parlsey and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Whizz the bread in a food processor to crumbs, tip into a bowl, then whizz half the sweetcorn until finely chopped. Add the chopped corn, remaining whole corn, tuna, cheese, spring onions and some seasoning into the bowl with the bread and mix well. Add the egg, bit by bit (you may not need it all), until the mixture is sticky enough to be shaped into four even-size burgers.
• Heat the oil in a non-stick pan, then cook the burgers for 5 mins on each side until golden and hot through the middle. Stuff into wholemeal buns with your favourite lettuce and a good dollop of salsa.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut the white ends from the spring onions and slice them in half lengthways. Finely chop the green tops. Tip the butter, flour, mustard and milk into a non-stick pan with seasoning, and whisk over the heat until the mixture thickens to make a sauce. Add the whites of the onion and cook for a few mins, stirring until they start to soften. Stir in the sweetcorn and tuna.
• Heat the tortillas following pack instructions. Divide the mixture between the tortillas and roll up like pancakes. Arrange the pancakes in a large, buttered ovenproof dish as you roll them. Mix the cheese with the onion tops, sprinkle over the pancakes and bake for 25 mins until bubbling hot.
