Method
- Preheat oven 200°C
- In a food processor or nutribullet blitz up the onion, garlic, sesame oil,coriander and tamari into a paste.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl add the drained tuna, stir in the chilli flakes, ginger, ground almond, egg and homemade paste.
- Once this is combined really well, let the mix stand in the fridge for 30 minutes.( it still works if you skip this step they are just a little easier the old after being chilled).
- Take sections and using your hands make patties/burgers.
- Place on a lined baking tray and bake for 25 minutes.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. ( they also develop a nice crispy out crust during this time).
- For Sauce, combine and ingredients together into a smooth & creamy dip.
