Method

  1. Chop the tuna into small chunks, then carry on chopping until the tuna is roughly minced. Tip the tuna into a bowl and mix with the garlic, ginger, soy sauce and coriander. Shape into two burgers, place on a plate, then freeze for 10 mins to firm up.
  2. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, then cook the burgers for 1-2 mins on each side or until done to your liking. Serve the burgers in toasted buns with lettuce, tomato and avocado.

Cooking tuna

Like beef, tuna can be cooked to your liking. To keep the burgers succulent, cook them for 1 min on each side over a moderate heat, leaving them pink in the middle.

    These were delicious asnd simple to prepare, just remember to chop the tuna /incredibly/ small or you'll have trouble moulding it.

    the flavour was fab, might consider using a food processor to get smaller chunks next time. they certainly need to be very small so it hold together.

    It was great and easy to eat but as far as healthy burgers go; benburgers steak burgers are the best for for flavour and good eating now sold online in the uk.

    Absolutely lovely - I've cooked it twice now and cant wait to try it again. I am going to try it with tinned tuna to see what that its like and will report back P.S. tip - cut the ginger up finely - my food processor didnt cope with big chunks!!

    My very fussy 5 year old LOVED these in spite of a sore throat! They did need very careful handling, but well worth it. We'll be having lots more of these!

    One of my favourite recipes - the only problem I have is assembling everything fast enough as it gets cold quite quickly.

    This has to be one of the best burgers i have tasted. I added extra garlic and ginger, finely sliced onions and some green chilli for extra flavour. My only problem was tying to keep the burger together, it kept seperating.

    The foodprocessor worked great. I always have a tub ginger in the house, that's so much easier. But the burgers lacked flavour, I didn't have fresh coriander so I used dried but that doesn't have much taste and I probably didn't use enough soysauce and ginger. So next weekend I'll try these again because they tasted very nice, really.

    I didn't cut the tuna small enough so the burgers fell apart, I thought they tasted ok but nothing startling and the tribe didn't like them at all so won't be making them again.

    The tuna burgers looked and tasted lovely! Chopping the tuna into small enough pieces was hard work though, so it took me a bit longer (unfortunately I don't have a food processor). I left out the ginger and it still tasted good!

    I tried this with tinned tuna and used extra of pretty much everything (couldn't resist) but stupidly forgot that tinned tuna is already salty and with extra soy sauce that ruined it a bit :( Good recipe though - quick and easy and good texture, though I added an egg white to hold it together so not sure how it would have gone without. The burgers were a nice change, I may experiment with other herbs and spices and maybe tinned salmon.

    these were gorgeous.i minced my tuna in a blender and had no problems with them staying together.i also added spring onions and whilst griddling i squezzed lemon juice over them which kept them nice and juicy.sweet chilli sauce went very nice with them too.
