This ticks all the PMC criteria for meals, quick, easy, healthy, cheap and doesn't taste too horrendous.
Tuna Burgers with Nice Sauce, as we call it. Takes about 20 mins.
You need:
For burgers:
-1 can tuna (make sure it's proper pieces and not the offal that you can buy if you're being exceptionally tight. Buy the most expensive can and make sure it's in oil and noone's faffed around with it adding tomato sauce or other impurities).
- 1 egg.
- some breadcrumbs.
- 1 small onion (or half a bigger one).
- 1 stick celery (optional).
- tabasco.
For sauce:
- 2 tbspns mayo (ok it's not that healthy then!)
- same amount of natural yoghurt.
- same amount of mango chutney.
- teaspoon of curry powder.
Make the sauce first so you don't have to do it at the last minute. Essentially just mix the above ingredients in a bowl and stick in the fridge.
Chop up the onion into small pieces or better still, if you have access to a blender and know how to use it that would be a whole lot better. Same applies to the celery though I don't usually bother with that. Beat the egg for a bit.
Mash up the tuna with a fork and add the onion/celery mush, egg, about 2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs and tabasco. Mix it all up. Make these into burger shaped things (makes about 3, or 4 small ones) and dip them in more breadcrumbs to coat the outside. Fry in oil or grill, and top off with the sauce you made earlier.
It’s it’s the thorgt that counts…
