Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 3–4 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
• 2 cans of Adriatic Queen tuna in olive oil

• salt, pepper
• parsley or chives
• burger bun or flatbread
• lettuce
• tomato
• yogurt or light sauce (optional)

Preparation

1. Drain the tuna well, but keep a small amount of the oil from the can to maintain juiciness.
2. In a bowl, combine the tuna, egg, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, and garlic.
3. Add the mustard, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley, then mix everything well to combine.
4. Let the mixture rest briefly so it can bind together.
5. Shape the mixture into smaller or larger patties, depending on your preferred size.
6. Heat a little olive oil in a pan and cook the patties for 3–4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
7. Serve them in a burger bun or with a light salad and sauce of your choice.
