I just made this for dinner, it was GREAT! Next time, I'll add more egg whites as well the Dijon Mustard that was mentioned. It was suggested when cooking, to roll it into a ball then smash it down. Leaving the outside crunchy and the inside soft. Thanks for the suggestions......
The oatmeal you put in is it quick cooking oats, rolled oats? Do you make the oatmeal before hand, than add two tbls? Sorry if this sounds dense but it doesn't say..

Delicious recipe! I spiced it up with a generous amount of Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick & topped with grilled tomatoe.
OH MAN! THIS WAS SO DELICIOUS I USUALLY JUST EAT THE CAN OF TUNA PLAIN STREIGHT OUT OF THE CAN. MAN I LOVE THIS :) THANKS MUCH
great recepie tried it this morning and caught me by suprise how good it really is
it tastes great and its healthy i reccomend it it is now part of my diet
I had this for diner it is delicious and it only takes a few minutes to make
thanks
Cooked this up myself for lunch today. I love how simple it yes yet so delicious! Definitely passing this on!
THIS JUST MADE ME LIKE TUNA!!!!
I just made this for lunch today after my workout and it is delicious! I had some trouble keeping it together as a patty but just used the spatula to get it onto the piece of toasted bread. I added a few slices of tomato on top and that adds some good flavor. I think next time I will try the red pepper with some pepper jack cheese for some variety.
Just made these and they're pretty insane. Will more than likely do this with all my tuna cans now.
The Slap Chop is junk.
Just made this, a double recipe though. Made 3 patties. I used a little bit more cheese than called for as well. The garlic is what makes it for me, I used 3 sections of one clove. Quite a nice taste to it, worth making again if I am not in a rush.
Know how I dealt with boring tuna? With a Slap Chop!
2 thumps up
I love this recipe.. i didnt have oatmeal and i substitute it with corn flakes taste great!!! my kids love it too..lol
add a dash of red pepper and/or sub pepper jack cheese for a little more flavor!
This is an absolute winner. I haven't ate tuna in ages because it became so boring. Had this tonight and I'm now apologising to all my tuna tins at the back of the cupboard!
I tried this out today and thought it was great. next time i think i will add a little more cheese though.
I tried the recipe today..and i was surprised by how tasty is really was..an easy quick recipe.i added a lil ginger also to it,didnt use any salt just pepper and the rest ov the ingredients,and ate it with salad was yummy.thnks for the recipe.
i tried it and mine didnt stick toghther as a patty
try this but substitute oatmeal for mashed potato flakes. I eat two of these with some wheat bread about an hour before my work out. Great carb/protein combo!
mine wasn't good and i followed rosie's advice and it was almost unsalted and I tried adding salt after but i guess ill try another time...
GRate tasting, easy to make, cant have them more then twice a week though coz of tuna mercury levels.
Damn, this is delicious....never thought Tuna could taste so good.
If you are gonna use the tuna i recommend that use very little salt because it is EXTREMELY salty with the combined tuna and salt.
And, when you cook it, if you put it on the heat in a ball, you can slowly push it down into patty-like flatness, that way, the outside is nice and crunchy and the inside is melty. Hope i helped! XD
this is a good recipe.. don't get me wrong, but if you sub out the tuna with salmon.. it works pretty good
try a can of salmon..
dice about 3-4 slices of bread
add the egg
onion (my opinion better than garlic)
cook until brown
you may need to add more or less, but it is good
(salmon pattys are high protein and are freakin delicious) can't say if my recipe is exact, but def try it out sometime)
Made the original and they were a real surprise, tried again today doubling the recipe and and adding djion mustard..it was so good I think it may become a mainstay.
This recipe is delicious i just ate it for lunch tryiing to replace my usual pb&j and chips with something healthier (and even tastier to!) This is definately on of my favorite recipes so far!
Tried it last night and added it to my diet program. There great tasting by following the recipe. I'll take away and add to in the future, but a sure winner in my book and it certainly beats the boring open the can, drain the water, and consume the tuna routine.
