The patties made with canned tuna in oil, are a practical second course that can always be made with ingredients that are usually not lacking at home.
They are soft, delicate, and very tempting, one leads to another. 🙂 Tuna patties fry in less time than meat ones because canned tuna is already cooked. They are also a good second course for summer and are often preferred cold.

Soak the slices of sandwich bread in milk and crumble them. Beat the eggs in a bowl, then add the crumbled slices, drained tuna, salt, pepper, chopped parsley, finely chopped garlic, and some grated Parmesan cheese.
Mix the ingredients well. Prepare a large frying pan with enough extra virgin olive oil to fry the tuna patties.
Pour spoonfuls of the soft mixture. Fry the patties. Turn them after five minutes using two forks.
Cover with a lid and continue to cook on low heat for another ten minutes.
Finally, place the fried tuna patties on a plate with paper towels to remove excess oil. Decorate the tuna patties with chopped fresh parsley and serve as a second course for lunch or dinner.
Tuna Patties with Bread Mixture Soaked in Milk
Tips for the tuna patties recipe: If you don’t have sandwich bread at home or you have some stale bread to use up, feel free to substitute with it and soften it in milk.
You can also use a food processor to blend the bread with the milk.
Let them cool in the fridge for half an hour before eating. Those with a lactose intolerance can certainly substitute with water or lactose-free milk to not miss out on this deliciousness.
