BLW Tuna Croquettes

By lbl417

Serves 2 adults and 1 baby, generously. Easy for babies to handle.

Ingredients

• 2 large potatoes
• One 5-ounce can low-sodium tuna or salmon (in oil or spring water)
• Juice of 1 lime (approx. 1 tbsp), or to taste
• 2 tbsp butter (preferably unsalted)
• 1/2 cup to 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably dry or toasted)

Preparation

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut into small pieces and steam or boil them. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and lightly grease a large baking sheet. Drain the tuna and break it up. When the potatoes are cooked, drain and mash them and add the tuna. Add the lime juice and mix well. Stir in the butter. Shape the mixture into small sausages (flouring or wetting your hands will help to keep it from sticking), then roll each one in the breadcrumbs and put on the baking sheet. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Serve warm, with vegetables, such as green beans and corn. Cooked tuna croquettes keep for a couple of days in the fridge or they can be frozen. The can be reheated in a microwave or in the oven.
