This is a great recipe I came up with to get rid of leftover bread. I generally use the contents of my vegetable drawer here so I kind of throw in whatever I have at the time, so you can use your own judgment. They taste really nice when eaten with sour cream or low-fat mayo or even on their own – though my husband prefers ketchup. I generally use this recipe as a guideline, so have fun with it!
Ingredients
- 3 slices hearty country bread
- 3 cups water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- ¼ cup fresh spinach leaves (Optional)
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked
- 6 mushrooms, diced (Optional)
- 1 zucchini, diced (Optional)
- 1 stalk celery, diced (Optional)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, or more to taste (Optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon oregano
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
Directions
Step 1
Soak bread in water in a large shallow dish until softened completely; remove from dish and squeeze as much water from bread as possible.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, spinach, and garlic in the hot oil until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Mix the onion mixture with softened bread, tuna, mushrooms, zucchini, celery, eggs, dill, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano in a large bowl until combined. Form the mixture into about 24 thin, palm-size patties.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the patties in the skillet until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Cook’s Note:
If you have pre-sliced bread from the store, that can be used as well; you just have to use more of it, so probably about 5 or 6 slices.
