Ingredients

  • 2 cans tuna in water, drained
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 100g white or wholemeal breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 50g reduced-fat mature cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 tablespoons fresh parsley or coriander, chopped
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 2 handfuls lettuce leaves, to serve

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 200C (fan 180C, gas mark 6). Grease a large baking sheet with a little vegetable oil.

2

Put the tuna into a large mixing bowl and mash it with a fork. Add the carrots, onion, breadcrumbs, egg, cheese and fresh herbs. Season with some pepper. Information: For a vegetarian version, you can replace the tuna with a 150g of marinated tofu pieces, chopped finely.

3

Shape the mixture into 6 burger patties and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.

4

Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown. Leave to cool for a few minutes, then serve on the lettuce leaves. Information: If you're really hungry, serve the patties in warm pitta breads or lightly toasted burger buns.
