Easy tuna and rice patties recipe. Small swaps can go a long way to getting the cost of your grocery shop lower – so to create this easy and budget-friendly recipe for our Savvy Dinner Plan I’ve taken inspiration from our most popular fish cakes recipe and reworked the ingredients list to make it shorter. I present to you my easy tuna and rice patties, which have already become a regular addition to my dinner recipe repertoire.
