Vegan Fricadelle de Veau Mentonnaise

[Veal Patties with Tuna and Anchovies]

...we made a variation of the VEGAN FRICADELLES DE VEAU Á LA NIÇOISE

...you just make the master recipe and beat the vegan tuna and capers (sub for the anchovies) into it...

...I 'found' this can of vegan tuna in the cupboard...and remembered that I didn't like it very well...just as tuna I mean...I much prefer to make my tuna salad with chickpeas and dulse...so it was languishing there...and I thought this would be a good way to use it up...

...just mash up the tuna...

...and add that...to the lentil mixture...

...add the capers...

...and form and brown the patties...we used a mixture of vegan butter and oil...

...I just made the patties...and we changed our minds about dinner so we didn't actually plate and eat them...but since they are reminiscent of the salmon patties my Mom used to make with canned salmon...we'll probably have them with mashed potatoes, green beans and ketchup...

...if you like them more like vegan 'fish' patties you could make the Vegan Tartar Sauce to go with them too...but we always had them with ketchup...
