Ingredients

  • 2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup minced red onions
  • 1 tblsp Butter
  • 2 servings Pork Rinds, Ground in a food processor
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

How to make Keto Tuna Cakes

Before you begin, gather all your ingredients and preheat oven to 375 degrees. There are different kinds of tina that come in either Spring water, olive oil or brine. Feel free to use whichever you prefer. Today we will be using tuna in olive oil.

Start by draining the tuna. Then using a fork pull it apart into flaky pieces and put it into a large bowl.

Now add the eggs, mayonnaise or yogurt, minced red onion and all of your seasonings into the bowl as well. If you haven’t already ground your pork rinds, make sure to blitz them well in your food processor and then add the ground pork rinds to the bowl.

Once you have added all the ingredients, mix them together until everything is equally combined.

You want to mixture to be moist. If you find that your mixture is a little too dry, you can add another egg. This will help to keep the mixture together during the cooking and prevent it from crumbling and falling apart.

You can test whether the mixture is ready by grabbing a small amount into your hands and forming it into a cake. If it easily stays together, the mixture is good to go.

For those who want to firm up the mixture even more, you can put mixture into the fridge for 30 minutes before baking. This step is optional and the cakes will still come out delicious without it.

Now you are ready to start cooking your tuna cakes. Melt your butter in a non-stick oven safe skillet over medium heat and then add the tuna cakes to the pan. Form them into the desired size and shape, making sure to lightly press down on them as you go.

Cook for about 5 minutes per side or until golden brown. You can flip them over once during cooking, but if your cakes are not staying together, it’s best to avoid flipping more than once so that they don’t fall apart.

Once they’re done, you can enjoy your Keto Tuna Cakes straight away with your favorite keto-friendly sides or store them in the fridge for future meals. I love to have mine with a spicy mayo side made with mayonaise and paprika and a slice of lemon.

And that’s it! A super easy and delicious way to enjoy tuna without all the carbs. We love to have this dish with a simple side salad or roasted vegetables. You can vary the seasoning and spices to your liking and to mix things up.
