Quick, easy, delicious tuna balls! These kid-friendly tuna balls are the best thing you can make with canned tuna. These are perfect for baby-led weaning and for fussy eaters, but I’m 100% sure the whole family will enjoy them too.

Ingredients:

(make 14 small balls)

• 1 large tin of tuna in spring water (drained weight 112g)

• 125g Ricotta cheese

• 1 egg

• 60g bread crumbs, plus extra for coating

• Small handful of parsley, chopped (optional)

• Pinch of salt (optional)

Method:

1. Flake the drained tuna into a bowl, add the drained ricotta and mix well.

2. Then add the parsley, breadcrumbs, egg and salt (if used) and mix together with a fork until completely combined.

3. Roll the mix into 14 walnut-size balls and coat them with a little of breadcrumbs.

4. Heat a little olive oil in a pan and fry the balls in batches over a medium heat until golden and crisp.

5. Remove from the pan and put them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.

6. OR You can cook them in the oven for a light dinner at 200°C for about 15-20 minutes, but they will be not so good-looking as the fried ones.

7. Enjoy!
