Just wanted to share a quick recipe - I just whipped these up for tea and they turned out REALLY tasty... give them a whirl for yourself.
You will need (feeds 4-6 depending on your portioning):
1-2 Sweet Potatoes, Peeled and cubed
1 Jar Thai Green Curry Paste (or similar)
Handful Freshly Chopped Coriander
2 Tins of Tuna Chunks in Water, drained VERY well (squeeze out every drop you can in a seive)
2 Spring Onions finely chopped
Ready Made Breadcrumbs - I always have these in the freezer made from the last of a loaf
The method is really simple. Boil the Sweet Potatoes until soft, then drain and mash with the Thai Curry Paste. You can use a spoonful of Butter or Creme Fraiche if you wish to make it extra creamy. Stir through the very well drained Tuna, finely chopped Spring Onions and Coriander. Set aside in the fridge for half an hour or so to firm up.
You should then simply make balls with your hands, pat them flat into pattie shapes and roll in the breadcrumbs before frying for a few minutes each side in a very hot pan.
Finish them in the oven for a few minutes while you sort out what you are having with them... chips, salad, stir fried vegetables, whatever you fancy.
One tip though - try to get as much liquid out of the Tuna as possible or the mixture will fall apart in the pan. Keep the mash as thick as possible, don't use too much liquid in there either. If you find the mixture is too wet then mix through some breadcrumbs until you reach the desired dryness and then roll them to coat. You don't want a mouthful of mush!
I hope you enjoy, we certainly did...
Cheers, Good Health to all
