While I reading my “Super Food Ideas” magazine and I came across this simple and healthy recipe - Tuna and Vegie Patties. Honestly, the patties are quite difficult to handle as they were so soft. However, I managed to shape them in round shape. I am happy with the outcome. =) It has a think layer crusty outside and soft favourable mash potatoes inside. Yum!
This recipe can makes up to 16 patties. In the magazine, they also included some guide to freeze the leftover. Wrap the leftover patties individually in plastic wrap and place in airtight container. For the next meal, you may just thaw the patties in fridge overnight and cook the patties in the frying pan.
