Tuna Burgers

Fresh tuna is available all year. But the supply is best and prices lowest in the warmer weather. Serve this plain or sandwiched between rolls, bread or a lettuce-and-tomato wrap.

Servings: 4
Prep and cook time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

1-1/4 pounds fresh tuna, cut into chunks
1 shallot, peeled and minced
1/3 cup capers, drained, rinsed, and chopped
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 cup minced fresh chives
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
A few turns from the black pepper mill

Method:

Use a sharp knife to chop the tuna and place in a mixing bowl with all of the other ingredients. Gently shape into 4 burgers. Cook over medium-high heat in a non-stick pan for about 5 minutes, turning onto both sides, and serve.
