Ingredients
1 (6 ounce) Can tuna in water, drained
1 1/2 Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 Eggs, beaten
1/4 Teaspoon pepper (or more to taste)
1/2 Small white onion, minced
1 Cup panko
2 Tablespoons melted butter
1/2 Cup mayonnaise
1/4 Teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 Teaspoon lemon pepper
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 Dashes Tabasco sauce
2 Tablespoons sesame oil
Method
1. Beat eggs and then combine with tuna, soy sauce, pepper, onion, panko and melted butter.
2. Form into patties (make small ones, so everyone gets 2 for a meal) and chill in refrigerator for 20 minues.
3. In the meanwhile, make your dipping sauce. Mix the mayo, garlic powder, lemon juice, lemon pepper and Tabasco sauce (feel free to add more as you like).
4. Place dipping sauce in a sandwich size Ziplock baggie.
5. Heat oil in large pan.
6. Cook tuna cakes for approx 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown, turning cakes only once to get good color.
7. When browned on each side, remove and place on a paper towel to drain off excess oil.
8. Take baggie with the dipping sauce and barely snip off one of the corners of the baggie. Drizzle the sauce over the top of each cake.
I served ours over a salad for a yummy dinner but they would also be a great lunch time meal.

Ingredients
2 Ounces morels (dehydrated mushrooms)
1 Cup red wine
2 Shallots, finely minced
1 Tablespoon butter
1 Cup heavy cream
1-2 Tablespoon beef base (I use Better-Than-Bouillon Beef Base, but you can use any condensed beef paste of your choosing)
Black pepper, to taste
Method
1. Soak the dried morel mushrooms in the red wine just long enough to rehydrate them, about 20-30 minutes is usually sufficient. (I use a plastic container with a lid for this step. That way, I can tilt the container occasionally or shake it around a bit, to be sure all the mushrooms are adequately rehydrating.).
2. After the mushrooms are rehydrated, place them in a colander and rinse with cool water to remove any grit from the mushrooms. Leave the colander in the sink to allow the excess water to drain from the colander.
3. Finely mince the rehydrated mushrooms; set aside. I minced half of them and cut the larger ones in half.
4. In a large skillet, saute the minced shallots in butter just until they are clear, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced mushrooms and beef base, and stir well. While stirring, add the cream and pepper, continuing to stir constantly until the sauce is thickened.
Spoon the sauce over grilled steaks (I used fillet mignon), veal, lamb, grilled chicken breasts, or pasta.
