Garlic and Herb Tuna Croquettes

I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the new flavored tunas that they have started to sell! I have used many of the flavors in different dishes. My mom used to always make salmon croquettes when I was growing up so I decided to use these flavored tunas to do a twist on the traditional croquette.  This is a cheap and healthy (if baked) dish to make.


Ingredients
2 Packages of Garlic and Herb Tuna
1/2 tsp. Garlic powder
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper.
1 green onion, chopped
1 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. grated onion
1 egg lightly beaten with a Tablespoon of milk (2%)


Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl. Form into 4 equal sized patties. Bake at 450 for about 15 minutes.


**** If your going to fry them. Add 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 cup flour. You can make them larger patties like above or roll into golf sized balls and fry. Heat oil. When a sprinkle of flour in the oil bubbles. Oil is ready to fry. Fry until golden brown.

Traditionally, croquettes are served with white sauce. My mom always served them with tartar sauce. I like using either a tartar or remoulade sauce. Look for those under sauces.
