Description

A fun and cheesy twist on tuna salad, served inside crispy onion rings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large sweet onion, cut into 1/2-inch rings
  • 2 (5 oz) cans tuna, drained and flaked

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Separate onion rings. Use only the largest rings for stuffing; reserve smaller rings for another use.
  2. In a bowl, combine tuna, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Stuff each onion ring with the tuna mixture, pressing gently to fill.
  4. Place flour, eggs, and panko in separate shallow bowls.
  5. Dredge each stuffed ring in flour, then dip in egg, then coat with panko.
  6. Heat 1 inch of oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Fry rings in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  8. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
