Keto Tuna Cakes Ingredients

• 3 x 5-ounce tins of Tuna in Springwater
• ⅓ cup of Fresh Herbs. We used a mixture of chives and parsley
• ¼ cup of Almond Flour
• 2 tablespoons of Low Carb Mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons of Lemon Zest
• 1 teaspoon of Dried Minced Onion
• 2 large Eggs
• ½ teaspoon of Salt
• ¼ teaspoon of Pepper, ground
• ¼ cup of Olive Oil for frying

How to Make Keto Tuna Cakes

1. Drain the tuna well. You should end up with about 280g/10 ounces of tuna.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients except the oil. Mix well. The mixture will be moist but hold together when you make a ball.
3. Place a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Drop quarter cup-sized dollops into the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side. You should get eight tuna cakes.
4. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a dollop of Low Carb Mayonnaiseor Keto Garlic Aioli.
