This recipe is for salmon but I am sure tuna would be just as good -
8oz tin salmon; l lb cold mashed potato; 4 oz grated cheese; flour for dusting; one beaten egg; 4 oz fresh breadcrumbs; oil for frying.

Drain the can of fish and flake in bowl, mix in potato and cheese.
Dust hands with flour (it is sticky!) and divide the mixture into eight portions. Shape into rounds, dusting with flour. Brush with the beaten egg and coat with breadcrumbs.
Chill for an hour or so before frying in heated oil.
Drain on kitchen paper before serving.
Yum!

Sounds nice. Is that pan fry or deep fry?

I pan fry but guess could deep fry.

Great Tuna recipe Happyroly, I've been experimenting too and came up with Tuna Lasagne - Gotta do something to use up all that tuna from the BOGOFs
Mix 2 tins of tuna with a tin of sweetcorn, make a white sauce , mix the tuna in half of it, layer it up with the lasagne put the rest of the white sauce on top, and cover with cheese. Bung in the oven till the cheese has melted and browned. Bon appetit.
Also works well with pink salmon!!

Cheapskate

I've just joined the grocery & pin money challenges, so thought I'd do this one as well!
I tend to do this near Christmas - use up everything in freezer/cupboard before restocking for Christmas. Then... find some of the things I bought at Xmas months later!!! Sound familiar?
I've odds & ends of pasta, tinned/frozen veg, half packets of loads of things - I'll post some ideas of what we've had over the next couple of weeks.

Or make hashbrown type fishcakes using grated potatoes with the same ingredients above in roly's recipe, just put all the grated potatoe in a teacloth you aren't too fussed about and wring all the potato juice out of and then mix everything together and shape into patties, maybe some egg in there too to bind it together.

Not read all of this thread but my hubby saves all the 'dust' from the cereal boxes (the bits that go soggy in the milk) and then makes microwave Flapjacks which are very yummy. I think this is his recipe.

3 oz marge/3 oz sugar/4 oz porridge oats (I think he halves this with the cereal dust). Melt butter, stir in sugar/oats and mix thoroughly. press down evenly. Cook for 4-5 mins until skewer comes out clean. Mark into wedges whilst still warm.
