Tuna And Smoked Mussel Burgers Recipes

TUNA BURGERS WITH TAPENADE AIOLI

Steps:

• Combine the tuna, Dijon, chipotle, oil, honey and green onion in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Shape the chopped tuna firmly into 8 round uniform patties about 1 1/2 inches thick. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. (The burgers must be very cold to hold their shape when cooking.)
• Grill burgers for 3 minutes on each side for medium doneness.
• For the tapenade aioli:
• Combine olives, capers, garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. Add the mayonnaise and process until smooth, season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
• Serve burgers with ciabatta rolls and aioli. Garnish with watercress.

TUNA AND SMOKED MUSSEL BURGERS

Steps:

• Drain the tuna in a sieve and put in a mixing bowl.
• Open the cans of mussels, and add with its oil to the tuna. The oil is usually quite minimal, and don't drain off the oil!
• Add the 1/2 cup dry stuffing mix, mayonnaise, and the beaten eggs.
• Mix very well. Leave this mixture to stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes for the dry stuffing to absorb the moisture (or cover and refrigerate for several hours if you prefer).
• Heat oil in a pan until hot, form large, flat burgers, and fry over medium heat, turning once one side is crisp and brown, and let fry on other side until brown.
• Squeeze lime/lemon juice over each burger before serving.
• Serve with oven-fried potato and red-onion wedges, and vegetables, plus condiments, OR make burgers with bread rolls and the usual garnishes.

TUNA NICOISE BURGERS WITH ROASTED GARLIC-TOMATO AIOLI

Steps:

• Mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon and vinegar. Place tuna in a large bowl. Fold in the mayonnaise mixture, olives, basil, capers and shallots and season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill the mixture well. Divide the mixture into fourths and mold into burgers. Chill again for 30 minutes. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
• Place tomatoes, lemon juice and garlic in the blender and blend until smooth. Add the mayonnaise and blend until just combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
