Sometimes things that don't convince us turn out to be a surprise: happened to me with the meatballs of tuna and potatoes. The idea of cooking tuna in oil didn't excite me, but when my brother asked me to prepare them for his birthday I satisfied him. I calibrated the recipe from me, going a little’ by eye, and the results surprised me, because they're really good. Kids will go crazy, so much so that my 15-month-old granddaughter also liked them. While we ate them as an aperitif along with Hummus and BABAGANOUSH, NEW1 and a nice glass of bubbles. You can make them both fried and baked, as I show you in this short VIDEO RECIPE.
I advise you to use a good tuna well drained oil, but if you prefer to save a handful of calories you can also use natural tuna. Inside I put basil and lemon zest, outside I chose a cornmeal breading, but you can also use breadcrumbs. I fried them (Obviously) in peanut oil (you then bought the essential Thermometer to measure the temperature of the oil?) but they're also delicious in the oven. I guarantee you because I cooked two of them in the oven for the little girl. Obviously, you can also serve them as a second dish: are perfect with a fresh tomato salad.
If, like me, love all that is round, especially if fried, have a look at all my RECIPES OF MEATBALLS AND CROQUETTES, like those (amazing) by POTATOES WITH HAM AND MORTADELLA or those, perfect for summer, by SICILIAN EGGPLANT. Run to boil the potatoes, Have a nice day!
