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:
Flake the drained tuna into a bowl, add the drained ricotta and mix well.
Then add the parsley, breadcrumbs, egg and salt (if used) and mix together with a fork until completely combined.
Roll the mix into 14 walnut-size balls and coat them with a little of breadcrumbs.
Heat a little olive oil in a pan and fry the balls in batches over a medium heat until golden and crisp.
Remove from the pan and put them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
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.
Enjoy!
