Yet another adapted Tesco recipe for you. This one is a play on two of my favourite things, tuna mayonnaise and a burger! I made this for a friend recently, and she said that it was one of the best homemade meals she’d had in a while and has gone on to make them at home herself, so I think that speaks volumes. Either that, or she doesn’t eat great home-cooked food usually; I’m sticking with the first option!

This ones serves 2 people, with a little tuna mix leftover for you to pop on a jacket potato or into a sandwich the next day for lunch!
Ingredients
- 2-pack Brioche Rolls
- 2 x 145g tins of Tuna in Water, Drained
- 1 Small Red Onion, ½ finely cubed, ½ finely sliced
- Cayenne Pepper/Chilli Flakes
- 80g tin of Sweetcorn, Drained
- Mayonnaise (Full or Low Fat – we’re not judging here!)
- Vegetable oil
- 2 Cheap Plastic Cheese Slices (optional)
- Shredded Iceberg Lettuce, Sliced Tomatoes & Gherkins for in your bun
- Potato Wedges or Chips
Method
- Put the breadcrumbs (reserving a small handful), the tuna, grated onion, sweetcorn, and 4tspn of mayonnaise into a medium bowl.
- Season well, add your Cayenne Pepper/Chilli Flakes and stir together.
- Form into 2 burger-style patties and then roll in the remaining breadcrumbs to coat.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan set over a medium-high heat and fry the burgers for 2-3 mins on each side until golden, crisp and hot throughout.
- Add a slice of cheese on top for the final minute of cooking.
- Serve in the buns with a dollop of mayonnaise, lettuce, tomatoes, gherkins and finely sliced onion with your potato wedges or chips on the side.
I also tend to serve this with a side of vegetables, my absoulte go tos are broccoli and brussel sprouts, but just pair with whatever you fancy! In the summer months, a side salad could work too; I’m thinking a Greek Salad with a little hint of feta (cheese is life!) could go down a treat!
I also think that most tinned fish, like salmon, could also work well with this burger, but I’m yet to branch out!

Happiest with a craft beer in hand, eating til my heart is content or exploring somewhere new.
