Tuna burger with watercress





  • 4 spring onions
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp fresh coriander
  • 370g tuna
  • 25g (1oz) fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 4 wholemeal buns
  • 150g watercress
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped

Place the spring onions (trimmed and finely chopped) in a bowl with the garlic (crushed), ginger, coriander (finely chopped), tuna (drained and flaked), breadcrumbs, egg and lemon juice. Mix the ingredients together.
Season and divide into 4 portions. Roll each into a ball and press flat. Chill the mixture in the fridge for at least 20 minutes or until needed.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the burgers for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Squeeze over more lemon juice to taste.
Meanwhile, cut the buns in half and lightly toast them on the cut side. Fill with a burger and a handful of watercress and serve with the remaining watercress and the chopped tomatoes.
