Crispy Tuna and Olive Croquettes Recipe

Features:
    Cuisine:

    These were really good. I did make a few minor adjustements by adding 2 tsp lemon juice and 3 cloves minced, sauteed garlic.
    I also put the tuna, olives and parsley in the food processor and pulsed until mixed well prior to adding to the onion mix.
    I replaced smart balance for the butter and fried in olive oil to make them healthier. I think these would be awesome with Kalamata olives and some goat cheese as well.
