If eating the daily recommended 25 - 30 grams of fiber each day is a challenge, give this recipe for Crispy Mediterranean Fiber OneTM Cereal Tuna Cakes a try. Each serving has 7 grams of fiber, and it's one of those recipes that everyone at your table will love. (Finicky eaters will probably think they're eating chicken!)
Ingredients
1 cup Fiber OneTM Original cereal
1 large egg
¼ cup light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Zest of half a lemon
Two 5-ounce cans solid white tuna in water, drained and finely flaked
½ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 small green onions, thinly sliced and chopped
¼ packed cup fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon capers, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
Place the Fiber OneTM Original cereal in a sandwich size resealable plastic bag and seal to close. Place on a cutting board and use the bottom of a small saucepan or coffee cup to gently smash and break the cereal into small, crumbly pieces. (It’s okay if some of it is powdery; you’ll end up with about ⅔ cup.) Set aside.
Place the egg, mayonnaise, mustard, and zest in a bowl and whisk until well combined. Add the tuna, cheese, green onions, basil, capers, and ⅓ cup of the crushed Fiber One TM cereal, and stir until well combined.
Arrange the remaining ⅓ cup Fiber One TM cereal on a plate. Shape the tuna mixture into eight 2½-inch cakes and coat generously on both sides with the crushed cereal.
Heat half the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the cakes until the bottoms are golden, about 4 minutes. Flip the cakes, add the remaining oil, and cook until golden brown, 4 more minutes. Adjust the heat to medium if the cakes brown too quickly.
