Ingredients
1 can albacore tuna in water (drained and flaked)1 cup (or so) leftover mashed potatoes2 Tablespoons minced shallots (onion works too)6 medium mushrooms (any kind) diced1 whole roasted red pimento pepper (finely chopped)2 Tablespoons chopped green olives1 large fresh eggDill weed ( I use approx 2 teaspoons, use to your taste)Green Peppercorn, crushed (I use about 1 teaspoon, use to your taste)1/2 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, also divided
Directions
1) Place tuna and leftover mashed potatoes in a medium bowl.
2) Saute shallots and mushrooms in 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a no-stick pan for 2-3 minutes, till onion is translucent and the mushrooms have released their moisture; add this to mixture in bowl.
3) To the bowl add pimeto peppers, green olives, egg, dill, green peppercorn, and just enough of the panko to make a mixture that can be "pattied".
4) Make 4 patties, coating each with more panko and lightly fry in the rest of the oli in your no-stick pan. Be sure to brown both sides - takes about 2-3 minutes per side on med heat.
5) Serve with a little dijonnaise if you like. (this will add extra calories)
