hey it's a Michelle tan from nom nom paleo and today I'm gonna show you an oldie but goodie from the blog and from our first cookbook nom nom paleo food for humans it's my spicy tuna cakes when you listen to the ingredients there's sweet potato jalapeno and tuna you're like what but it really is amazing they're these delicious portable sweet and savory snack so you can take with you on the road first things first you want to preheat the oven to 350 degrees and then you grab a 12-cup muffin tin so what I have here is just two cans of albacore tuna no oil or anything um because I'm gonna add some ghee later and the reason why I asked for no oil is because I like to control the type of oil and how much is in there you don't have to use albacore tuna you can use salmon people use chicken kind of whatever you want scallions cilantro and this here is a mashed cooked sweet potato or yam and you can bake it you can microwave it however you want to cook it I actually just kind of like doing the fall with my hands cuz I just want to kind of gingerly mix it all together and you don't want to break up the fish now I'm gonna zest some lemon zest make sure you don't go you just get the very top yellow part instead of the bitter wipped pit and then I'm gonna add two eggs and I'm super lazy and I don't want to clean another Bowl so that's why I'm not whisking them first I'm gonna throw in some jalapeno and then I like a little bit extra spice so I had a little bit of red pepper flakes this is melted ghee because otherwise this is fat-free and I don't want a fat-free spicy tuna cakes and then I add one in half teaspoons of diamond crystal kosher salt because I've made this so many times I know this is the right amount but if you're not sure you should mix it all up and then fry a tiny patty just to taste for seasoning and then you can adjust it as needed I'm just gonna go in with my hands and you want to make sure the egg gets incorporated everywhere but you're not smashing up the tuna I like having chunks of tuna in there just kids I think it tastes better cuz I like like this I like it that there are pieces of tuna still in here I think it just tastes better so now we're gonna scoop this into a muffin tin I like to use an ice cream scoop to scoop them in and this is about a quarter cup and you just take it and then you put it in each one and then use the back of it to press down and I know people have told me that they have just taken this batter and just fried it but I think that's too much work it's a lot easier if you just put them all and bake them in the oven and you don't want to fill them more than like three-quarters high I mean it's not like they rise or anything it's just that way I've done it so many times that I know that that you can get twelve out of it so this I'm gonna stick in the oven 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes and then I'm gonna rotate it halfway through the cooking time but they're done when a toothpick goes through the center and comes out clean I know it throws people off because they see them in these little cupcake liners but that is so won't stick to your cupcake tin and if you would rather them not look like little cupcakes that's fine too then you're gonna be scrubbing a long time voila spicy tuna cakes they'll make everybody happy .
