  • Food Processor.
  • Heavy Skillet.

 

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.
