Broiled Tuna, Rice & Sweet Corn Cakes with Herb Dijon Sour Cream
This is a “poor man’s crab cake.” One night I looked in the fridge and had leftover rice, a couple of cans of tuna and a bag of frozen corn. “What’s a bit@h to do with that crap?” I asked myself. Why, Tuna, Rice & Sweet Corn Cakes! Broiled. Not Fried! And then serve them up with some spicy herb dijon sour cream of course. Of course.
