Ingredients
-
12 oz. canned/packaged tuna (light, in water)
4 tbs. salsa (pureed)
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs (italian)
1 egg
2 tsp garlic powder
4 tbs. extra virgin olive oil
Tips
You get 40 balls out of this recipe... if you don't eat them all right away, Just refrigerate them; they taste great cold, too.
I find that using a metal spatula works best... the tuna is a little sticky at first.
I have substituted the salsa for ranch dressing for a tangy tuna ball (instead of savory).
Directions
Heat large skillet on Med/High and add olive oil. In large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients until very well blended. Roll the mixture into small balls (about one ounce). You should get 40 balls out of it. Drop balls into the skillet making sure they don't touch. You may have to make two or three batches depending on the size of your skillet. Allow balls to cook on the side you dropped them on for about 3 minutes. Use a spatula to flip them over on the other side and let them cook for 3 more minutes. Once the balls "roll" easily without sticking, roll them around in the pan occassionally to ensure all sides are cooked through.
