Instructions

  1. Add the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic to a food processor. Process until finely chopped.
  2. Add drained tuna, egg, almond flour (1/2 cup), salt, and pepper. Process until well combined.
  3. Heat olive oil (2 tablespoons) in a cast iron (or other heavy) skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Form patties with approximately 1/4 cup of the tuna mixture and fry until golden brown on both sides (about 2-3 minutes on each side), flipping carefully (as they will have a tendency to fall apart when they are warm).
  5. Place on plate to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
  6. Meanwhile, to make the aioli, add all ingredients to food processor and process until well combined.
  7. Serve tuna croquettes with aioli.
