Tuna Burgers with Wasabi Mayonnaise (Main)

Directions

Place the tuna, basil, mint, spring onions, coriander, lemon zest and red chillies in a food processor and process until well combined.

Using your hands scoop some of the mixture and shape first into balls, then into burgers by patting them down with the palm of your hand.

Chill the burgers for at least half an hour to let them set.

Heat a barbecue or grill pan until hot.

Brush the burgers on each side with a little oil and season with a little salt and pepper.

Grill for 2 minutes on each side or until cooked through – the cooking will depend on how thick the burgers are.

Toast your buns lightly on the hot grill pan or barbecue and make the burgers by filling each bun with a hot tuna patty, lettuce and/or sprouts and some sliced tomato.

Serve with lemon and wasabi mayonnaise on the side.

To make the mayonnaise:

Stir together the mayonnaise and wasabi powder / paste in a small bowl until well blended.

Add more wasabi in small amounts until you reach the desired heat level.
