Tuna & Zucchini Patties

Sometimes I add 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa instead of zucchini.

Ingredients:

• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup shredded zucchini (2.5g of sugar per 100g)
• 1 x 15oz (425g) can drained tuna in olive oil or salmon (can use fresh, or steamed)
• 1/2 cup diced green/spring onion
• 1/4 tsp salt, or to taste
• 1/4 tsp garlic flakes
• a pinch of ground black pepper
• a few drops of fish sauce (optional) it gives a lovely flavor...trust me
• 3 Tbsp low carb flour, or just enough to "soak up" excess moisture so you can roll into patties. Low carb fine breadcrumbs or crushed almonds or cashews may also be used.

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, place the shredded zucchini after squeezing out the excess water
thoroughly.
2. Add all other ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined.
3. Heat a large non-stick skillet or pan sprayed with non-stick spray over medium-low heat.
4. With your hands, make small round patties out of the zucchini mixture and place into your pan.
5. Cook until golden brown, flipping halfway through.

Wonderful with Quinoa salad for a dinner meal.
