Ingredients
For Tuna Croquettes:
- 1/4 onion roughly chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper roughly chopped
- 1 clove garlic roughly chopped
- 10 oz. canned tuna in water drained (2 small cans)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil for frying
For Lemon Dill Aioli:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- Juice of one lemon
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic to a food processor. Process until finely chopped.
- Add drained tuna, egg, almond flour (1/2 cup), salt, and pepper. Process until well combined.
- Heat olive oil (2 tablespoons) in a cast iron (or other heavy) skillet over medium-high heat.
- 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).
- Place on plate to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
- Meanwhile, to make the aioli, add all ingredients to food processor and process until well combined.
- Serve tuna croquettes with aioli.
