Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 x 14.5oz can white beans drained and rinsed well
  • 2 x 5oz cans of wild albacore tuna packed in spring water drained well
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsps Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • sea salt and ground pepper to taste

For the meal prep:

  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced into rings

Instructions

  • Mash the beans with a fork and add in the tuna, flaking it really well with your fork.
  • Add the egg, mustard, and all of your seasonings. Stir really well to combine everything, then form into 12 cakes.
