Ingredients
- 2 x 300g tins MSC certified tuna
- 4 eggs
- 200g plain yogurt
- 65mL neutral oil (e.g. vegetable oil)
- 200g mature cheddar cheese, grated
- 120g spinach leaves
- 125g plain flour
- 125g cornmeal, coarse or fine polenta works well
- 2tsp baking powder
- 2tsp salt
- 2tsp sugar, you can use honey or maple syrup if you like
- 100g aioli/mayonnaise
Method
- Preheat the waffle maker.
- To make the waffle batter, combine the first 5 dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside. In a smaller bowl, whisk eggs, yogurt and oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix gently until just combined.
- To make the tuna mixture: Combine the tuna and aioli and set aside until you have prepared the waffles.
- To make the waffles: scoop a small amount of batter, around 75g onto the preheated waffle iron. Sprinkle a small amount of the tuna mixture over the batter, top generously with some grated cheese and a small handful of spinach leaves. Place another small scoop of batter on top (this time about 2 tablespoons).
- Cook until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked waffles to a cooling rack and serve warm.
- Can be cut in half for a fast casual snack to go, or served alongside some crunchy vegetables such as carrots, celery and baby tomatoes.
