Tuna Melt Fishcakes 🐟🧀🍋

With the summer almost there I wanted to propose to you a simple preparation that I use frequently as a summer main course or, in multiple doses, as a buffet dish. It is equally delicious served either warm or cold.

Ingredients for 4 people:

• 200 g of tuna in olive oil
• 200 g ricotta cheese
• 100g mozzarella cheese
• 2 eggs
• 50 g of pickled capers
• 100 g breadcrumbs
• 50 g grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley or basil
• 1 lemon
• Olive oil
• salt and pepper

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees before beginning preparation.
2. In a bowl beat the eggs and mix in well the drained tuna with the ricotta.
3. Add a little salt and pepper, the lemon zest, chopped basil or parsley, Parmesan cheese, the mozzarella diced and half of the breadcrumbs.
4. Distribute a trickle of olive oil in an ovenproof dish.
5. Work the ingredients well and, with the help of two spoons and form medium-sized balls, cover these the other half of the breadcrumbs and lay them in the ovendish, keeping them separate.
6. Put in the oven for 25-30 minutes and serve warm or cold sprinkled with lemon juice and accompanied with a green salad.
