LEMON TUNA PATTIES

-    300g tinned tuna, drained

-    1 small red onion, finely chopped

-    2 tablespoons chopped coriander

-    2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest

-    2 eggs separated

-    2 tablespoons gluten free flour

-    2 tablespoon oil

Place tuna, onion, coriander and lemon zest in a  bowl and mix lighly with a fork. Add egg yolks (reserving whites for later) and continue to mix. Season lightly. Sift flour into mixture and gently fold through.

Place the egg whites in a clean bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. Spoon the whites into the tuna mixture and gently fold through. With slightly wet hands, form the mixture into 8 patties.

Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add patties and cook for 5 minutes each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with a mixed leaf salad.

Note: A great lunch option, tuna is high in stress-fighting vitamins B6 and B12. Tuna is also a good low-fat protein source.
