Markus Rühl's Tuna Patties (Thunfisch Frikadellen)

Ingredients

• 2 can Canned Tuna (In brine/water, drained; approx. 150g drained weight per can)
• 2 Eggs (Size Large)
• 100 g Oat Bran (Used as a binder)
• 1 Onion (Small, finely diced)
• Salt (To taste)
• Black Pepper (To taste)
• Paprika Powder (To taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Open the tuna cans and drain the brine or water thoroughly. Place the drained tuna into a large mixing bowl.

2. 2

   Finely dice the onion and add it to the bowl with the tuna.

3. 3

   Add 100g of oat bran to the mixture.

4. 4

   Crack two eggs into the bowl to act as a binding agent.

5. 5

   Season the mixture generously with salt, black pepper, and paprika powder.

6. 6

   Mix all ingredients thoroughly using a fork or your hands until a cohesive, moldable mass is formed.

7. 7

   Shape the mixture into equal-sized patties.

8. 8

   Heat a tablespoon of oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.

9. 9

   Place the patties in the pan and fry for approximately 4-5 minutes per side until they are golden brown and firm.

Notes

Markus emphasizes that this is a 'heavy' meal designed for high protein intake. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more oat bran; if too dry, add a splash of water or another egg.
