I've made this many times.
2 cans tuna, drained
1 onion, peeled and chopped fine or green onion
2 eggs
2 Tbs mayo
1/4 c bread crumbs
2 Tbs Italian seasoning, dry Itaian dressing, or Old Bay Seasoning
optional:
(chopped green, red, orange, yellow peppers or 1 carrot shredded)
2 Tbs oil or olive oil
mix all ingredients together evenly and shape into patties
Fry 4-5 minutes each side in the oil
Serve on a bed of lettuce or on a hamburger bun, toasted English muffins. Maybe a squeeze of lemon over each one. A white sauce goes well with the Tuna or Salmon. I also like to put a touch of hot sauce in my mix or right over the top if you like it hot. You can use crabmeat or salmon the same way. (The imitation crab or salmon in a can works just fine and more affordable)

Tuna Balls - Polpette di tonno
Serves: 4-8
1-3/4 cup tuna fish packed in olive oil
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 egg
3/4 cup fresh ground parmesan
1/4 tsp. thyme
1 cup ground dry bread crumbs
salt to taste
oil to fry
In a large bowl mix the ricotta, egg, parmesan and thyme.
In a food processor blend the tuna until smooth. Drain the excess oil before blending. Mix the tuna into the ricotta mix with a pinch of salt.
Prepare a plate with the dry bread crumbs. Now gently roll the tuna into one inch balls and then roll them in bread crumbs. When they are all ready prepare a nonstick frying pan with olive oil. Fry them on both sides taking care when you turn them as they are very delicate.
Place them a plate covered with paper towels to absorb the excess oil and let them cool a few minutes. Serve alone or with a fresh leaf salad.
This recipe will make around 30 to 40 balls depending on how big you make them. Take care when frying them as they will tend to fall apart otherwise. They make a delicate appetizer or you can serve them with salad as a main course.
