Course: Main Course

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 5 medium potatoes
  • Cold water for boiling
  • 1 can of canned tuna about 150g
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 bunch spring onions, chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 100 grams cheese, grated
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Sunflower oil for frying

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Boil the Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Boil for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, mash the boiled potatoes. Add the canned tuna, finely chopped onion, grated carrot, and chopped spring onions. Mix well.
  3. Season and Mix: Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Add 1 beaten egg, grated cheese, and 4 tablespoons of flour. Mix everything until it forms a dough-like consistency.
  4. Shape the Schnitzels: Grease your hands with a bit of sunflower oil to prevent sticking. Take a small portion of the dough and shape it into flat schnitzel-like patties.
  5. Coat and Fry: Sprinkle some flour on both sides of the schnitzels. Heat sunflower oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the schnitzels until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Serve: Once golden and crispy, remove the schnitzels from the pan and let them drain on paper towels. Serve warm and enjoy!
