Tuna Cakes

"From Everyday Food. Be sure to fully drain the tuna. If the mixture is too wet it will fall apart. My husband, who is normally a pretty picky eater, really liked these."

  1. Yummy! The store didn't have tuna in oil so I had to use the water packed. I also used parsley in place of cilantro because I don't care for the flavor of cilantro. These were a little fragile, but they held together pretty well. I used a rather flat 1/3 cup measure to pack the mixure and then patted them down flatter. I got barely 7 patties, so if you want 8 don't pack them down, or use a bit less than 1/3 cup. These were very good with and without salsa. Thanks!
