Chef Marvel Cook
2 cups canned tuna
1 large egg
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. dried sweet basil
1/2 tsp. dill weed
1/2 tsp. cilantro
1 tbs. Cape Crystal xanthan gum
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Ciabatta Buns (4)
Lettuce
Salt and pepper
2 medium tomatoes
Pickle or cucumber slices
Garlic salt
Lime juice
STEP 1: Drain the two cans of tuna.
STEP 2: Put tuna, egg, basil, dill weed, xanthan gum, and cilantro into a bowl. Mix well. Then add Parmesan cheese and mix. Form into four thin patties.
STEP 3: In a frying pan, add oil and fry the patties until done by showing a nice crispy crust. Move to paper towels to absorb excess oil.
STEP 4: Slice the tomatoes, and salt and pepper to taste. Add slices of pickle and lettuce to warmed ciabatta bun. Place the patty in the bun.
STEP 5: For a cool variation, substitute sliced cucumber for pickles. Then for a finishing touch, squeeze lime juice on the patty and add garlic salt.
STEP 6: This tuna patty whopper will be a hit no matter how you adorn it — mayonnaise, ketchup, tartar sauce, or just plain as they are so juicy.
Here's a healthy fast-food sandwich. This delicious tuna whopper sandwich is a
