Jalapeño Tuna Cakes
Do tuna cans duplicate in other pantries? I always have cans of tuna on hand. It’s as if I never run out. Another thing I used to hate as a kid, I’ve learned to use canned tuna in lots of ways. I make a spicy tuna egg salad that I love on wraps (or with a fork!) and I have also shared in a previous column my cheesy Tuna Zoodle Casserole.
This was a recipe I found by typing in some ingredients I had in Pinterest and then modifying it to only ingredients in my panty. I do this A LOT. You could also double the recipe because these freeze well.
The remoulade is what I use for crab cakes. I love Cajun flavor and I do not use it enough in my cooking. I made some zucchini crab cakes over the summer and that’s how I found this modified remoulade. I hope you like it as much as I did!
