Too often I find myself preparing the same go-to meals when I open a can of tuna. I’m either preparing my beloved Stewed Tuna recipe or Tuna Salad for a sandwich. This time I wanted to prepare something different but also a dish that didn’t take too long to prepare or that required any fancy ingredients. These Tuna Meatballs were the perfect thing to whip up. I made it into a meal by adding spaghetti but you could easily eat these with rice, put them in a fried bake or have them on their own with a little tamarind dipping sauce.
Using the Grace flaked Tuna in water made this even easier as I didn’t have to go through the steps of mincing/mashing the tuna. This is definitely an easy dish to add to your seafood recipe repertoire.
