Tuna and Tomato Cakes Recipe

Water-packed Tuna is a very heathy, low-fat lunch choice that is far more versatile than most people realise.

These Tuna fish cakes can be served in a crusty bread roll or on their own with the salsa. They're also lovely served with tomato chutney.

Refrigerate well and enjoy them for lunch a couple of days in a row.
