Method
- Place the tuna, spring onions, anchovies and salt and pepper in a bowl and mix gently.
- Shape into 4 burger patties, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat and cook the burgers for 3 minutes on one side and then turn and cook for a further 2 minutes on the other side, or until browned and just cooked through. Note they should be rare side and if you prefer them cooked right through add another minute or so to the cooking time.

- Pile the olive and parsley salad onto the plates and top with the burgers.
- Serve with houmous and toasted pitta bread.
We love making sushi and often have some tuna left over so we came up with a good way of using it up and then started making these burgers instead of making sushi!
