Tuna & Sweetcorn Patties

Ingredients

• 1 can tuna in water (drained, ~80g)
• 3 tablespoons corn kernels (canned, drained)
• 1/4 cup mashed potato
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Method

1. 01

   Drain canned tuna well and place in a bowl. Break up any large pieces.

2. 02

   Add drained corn, mashed potato, and egg to the bowl. Mix until combined and firm enough to shape.

3. 03

   Form into small flat patties (about 4 cm diameter, 1 cm thick).

4. 04

   Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook patties 4–5 minutes per side until golden and heated through.

5. 05

   Drain on paper towel. Cool completely before serving.

How to offer

Place 1–2 patties on the high chair tray. Always supervise during feeding. Recommended from 12 months due to higher mercury content in tuna — limit to once a week. Offer no more than 1–2 times per week.

Storage

Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 2 days. Not recommended for freezing. Reheat in pan or oven.
