Zesty Tuna Burgers

List of Ingredients




Burger Ingredients:
1 lb fresh tuna, ground in a food processor (Note: If you end up using canned tuna, it's ok. Just make sure you really drain it well)

1/3 cup finely diced onions
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 T dried dill
1 T dijon, salt
1/2 t white pepper
1/3 cup breadcrumbs


Sauce Ingredients:1.5 t Tabasco sauce
2 T olive oil
1/4 cup tartar sauce (store-bought or homemade)
2 T lime juice
lime zest
lemon zest


Recipe



Mix all the ingredients for the burger well. Shape into patties carefully, as the mixture will be a bit fragile and can easily break apart. Optional: Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to make the patties hold together better. Still, be careful when handling and turning the patties.


I prefer to grill the patties. Sear it at a high temperature (to lock in all the juicy goodness) and then cook it slow and low (low temperature) until it's completely cooked.

Or, if using a non-stick skillet, coat it with cooking spray. Fry over medium heat, uncovered about 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through (golden brown).


Meanwhile, mix all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl. Chill until the patties are done.

Serve on buns (with our sauce) on a bed of butter lettuce tomato slices, and onions (preferably grilled), if desired.
