TUNAFISH BURGERS

I believe that almost everybody loves burgers!
The recepe I'm sharing with you is a healthy way to have a nice burger sometimes.
Tunafish, besides its protein content, is also rich in omega 3, vitamin E and K
and mineral salts like potassium, iron and iodine.
This burger has a fresh taste and reminds me of holidays in the Caribbean.
Serve it with the frisee salad published in my blog in March.

TUNAFISH BURGERS

Ingredients for 8 burgers:

1 pound fresh tunafish
1 TBS chopped parsley or cilantro
2/3 chopped scallions
1 TBS mayonnaise
2 inch chopped fresh ginger
half red chile
salt and pepper
oil

Cut tuna in small cubes.
Stir in chopped parsley, ginger, chile, salt, pepper and mayo.
Mix well.
Shape tuna in 8 patties, put them in a plate, cover with clingfilm and refrigerate
at least for one hour.

Heat oil in a frying pan and cook burgers until browned on both sides
(about 2 minutes for each side).

Place it in a bun, spread with a little bit of mayonnaise or sweet and sour sauce,
and serve with a nice salad.
