Instructions

Tuna Patty

  1. Heat a pan to medium heat with a tablespoon of oil. When the pan is hot, add the onion and sugar and cook until the onions are soft and lightly caramelized. Set aside to let it cool down.
  2. Place the drained tuna in a bowl. Add the softened onion and the rest of the ingredients (except for the extra bread crumbs).
  3. Mix all the ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to crush all the tuna - it’s good to have some nice chunks in there. The tuna should be a wet mix.
  4. Shape the tuna into 2 patties. You can use an egg ring to help form uniform-sized patties.
  5. Sprinkle some bread crumbs on a plate and place the tuna patty on top. Press more bread crumbs on top of the patty as well (so that both top and bottom are coated with bread crumbs).
  6. Heat a pan with a shallow amount of oil. Carefully place the tuna patty in the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Using a wide spatula, flip the patty over and fry for a few more minutes until golden brown on both sides.
  7. Place on a rack or paper towel to drain.

Aioli Tartar Sauce

  1. Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine. Keep it in the fridge, covered, until needed.

Burger

  1. Halve the burger buns and toast the cut sides on a pan or grill.
  2. Place lettuce leaves on the bottom burger bun, top with a tuna patty, tomato slices, avocado slices, egg and tartar sauce.

Salad

  1. The tuna patty can also be served over your favorite salad, topped with tartar sauce.
