Tuna Balls

Ingredients

• 2 scoops of Tasteless Collagen
• 1 medium potato, peeled
• 100g of canned tuna (or thereabouts), drained
• 1 egg, beaten lightly
• 1 slice of day-old bakery bread, dried and
• Extra virgin olive oil, to fry lightly
• Add fresh or dried herbs to add your own choice of flavour

Coating

• 1 egg, beaten lightly into a bowl
• 1⁄2–1 cup of breadcrumbs in a large bowl for coating tuna balls

Method

1. Cook potato in a saucepan of simmering water until tender. Drain and mash. Combine Tasteless Collage, tuna, mashed potato and egg in a bowl.
2. Using both hands, rub the bread between your fingertips and thumbs to crumble it finely into the mixture (otherwise, use a food processor) and combine all ingredients well.
3. Using clean hands, shape tablespoon portions into small balls, dip them into the beaten egg mix, then dip into breadcrumbs and toss/pat to coat. You can place it in the fridge for about 20 minutes to chill.
4. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place balls into a frying pan. Gently turn the balls when golden brown and repeat this process until the balls are cooked (approximately 2–3 minutes per turn).
5. Transfer balls to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
6. Tuna balls can be served warm or cold with some chickpea dip (i.e. hummus)
7. for dipping.
