Feed The Mommy——Tuna Cakes with Lemon Dijon Sauce

Ever since I embarked in the 5:2 Diet journey, I hardly have to cook. Besides, my son is on a strike, instead of eating like a toddler, he went back to eat baby food like puree and cereal. It kind of makes my life easier really, I hardly do any cooking anymore. And groceries last me for a longer time!

Such a bliss!

Anyway, I still browse easy recipes every now and then. Recipes for one, recipes that is baby friendly (and edible for adults), recipes for lazy person, quick recipes etc. And my recent favourite is Mediterranean diet, they seem to be healthy and quick to prepare!

And I tried tuna cakes yesterday! And I love it so much I'm going to make more next week!

I happened to see this recipe on Pinterest, and thought to myself, "This is simple enough for me!".

I do not measure everything accurately, I just made some estimation based on the recipe. And because it's my first trial, I made it with one can of tuna instead of two.

Things that I will like to change for my next trial:
1. Add more Dijon in the sauce
2. Crush in some garlic
3. I might want to add one egg for a can of tuna
4. Eat this with burger bun
5. Add a lot more chives! Chives is brilliant :P

If you are using tuna in olive oil, keep the oil aside after draining and use it for frying the tuna cakes.

The lemon Dijon sauce is the soul of this dish, so make sure you fine tune the taste of the sauce to your likings before serving.

Definitely a recipe to keep :)
