Canned Tuna Meatballs

You can, for instance, make these delicious tuna meatballs that go well with creamy mashed potatoes, mashed peas or a colorful salad. You can also enjoy them on their own as an appetizer.

They are quick and easy to make in the oven and require just a few five ingredients (aside from salt and pepper). Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 can of tuna well drained
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced or chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp breadcrumbs or flour
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 2-3 sprigs dill or parsley

Instructions

  • With a fork, flake the tuna into a bowl.
  • Stir in the egg, herbs, salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs, mixing until you get a firm mixture.
  • Preheat the oven to 190 °C/375 °F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Shape the balls, approx. 3 cm (~1 inch) in diameter, with slightly wet palms and place them on the baking tray.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they are nice and brown.
  • Enjoy with your favorite dressing, in sandwiches, or paired with a colorful salad.
