Instructions:

Step 1:

Drain all the water from the canned tuna and place them in a bowl. Mash it down using a fork to make it flakier.

Step 2:

Slice the bread into small pieces and place into your food processor. Grind until they turn into crumbs, then put into the same bowl as the tuna. Next, cut the onion into big bits, grind it into your food processor, and add to the bowl. Do the same for the chilies, garlic cloves, and bell pepper.

Step 3:

Add the diced tomatoes and finely chopped cilantro.

Step 4:

Add the juice of the lemon, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix ingredients until well combined.

Step 5:

Beat 3 eggs and pour into the mixture. Give it a good mix.

Step 6:

Beat another 3 eggs into a bowl, then spread some breadcrumbs into your chopping board.

Step 7:

Use a trigger-release ice cream scoop to get the uniform size of tuna cakes. Form into a patty, dip into the egg, and coat with breadcrumbs. Repeat for the remaining mixture.

Step 8:

Add vegetable oil to a heated skillet and fry the tuna cakes until golden brown. Flip and fry the other side. Once done, place on a plate lined with a paper towel to remove excess oil.
