New style tuna patties

Yes tuna patties are daggy. But we had them tonight and they were yum! I've created a new recipe that uses ricotta instead of potatoes (or similar starchy veg). We kept tonight's meal seasonal (unless you count the hot chips we picked up from the fish and chip shop - blame the influence of evil grandparents staying the night. Without the chips it was a very healthy, low fat meal!).

We also had steamed Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce.

Tuna ricotta patties

(serves 4)

1 wedge ricotta (from the deli)

200g tin tuna (in oil - but you can be healthy and use tuna in brine or springwater)

half grated carrot

half grated zucchini (squeezed in paper towel to remove excess moisture)

crushed garlic clove

teaspoon fish sauce

chopped Vietnamese mint leaves

2/3 cup polenta

Throw it all into a bowl, mash together with a fork (or your hands), roll into patties and put into the fridge for at least half an hour.

Then oil your pan, place patties in and cook until browned and warmed through.

Easy peasy and tasty too. (and quite cheap)
