I made this sweet potato & tuna frizzle for lunch the other day and it was so incredibly tasty and warming. It’s naturally gluten free, dairy free, egg free and soya free!
What you need:
- Cooked sweet potato (1 large one) and / or cooked butternut squash
- Tinned tuna / salmon (1 normal sized tin)
- Finely chopped red onion (half)
- Fresh coriander finely chopped (handful)
What you do:
- Mix it altogether in a bowl
- Try to make fish cakes out of it and discover it doesn’t bind
- Frizzle it anyway until it looks ‘just right’
- Serve it with a lovely salad!
This sweet potato & tuna frizzle also makes a great packed lunch!

I’m not a lover of sweet potato, but I have to admit this sound interesting! Thanks for linking up with #sundaystars x
I know what you mean – I only like it in certain forms and this is definitely one of them!
Yum yum, like the idea of using sweet potato instead of ordinary, thanks for sharing #sundaystars
Thanks Amanda – it might become my saturday lunch staple!
I could eat sweet potatoes every day. I’m adding this to my must try list. #SundayStars
Hi Jessie – I’d love to hear any sweet potato recipes you have too?? I need to vary things up a bit more on the sweet potato front…
Oooh interesting, I’ve never mixed sweet potato and tuna together but I’ve used white potatoes so could see how this could work…. ooh wonder if I can sneak it onto this week’s meal plan?!
Thank you so much for popping past and yes do give it a go!
I love this – especially the instructions!! Lots of the best meals come out of trying something else that didn’t go to plan. Sounds yummy. #freefromfridays
Oh don’t they just?! I have them in my kitchen ALL THE TIME!!
Looks fab! Sweet potato is my youngest’s favourite andI’m always looking for new recipes using them. Will def give this one a try. Thanks!
Yes do it’s so delicious and manages to be healthy at the same time 🙂
What a wonderful idea! I love butternut squash but never had it with tuna! Thanks so much for linking up with #foodpornthursdays x
Neither had I until I looked in my cupboards in desperation!
I find that I’ve been using sweet potato in a lot of different ways lately…although I’ve never frizzled it 🙂 I imagine it would be great with the tuna. #foodpornthursdays
I think some oils are better to frizzle with than others :). I tend to use rice bran oil as it’s nutritious and has a high smoking point!
That sounds really nice. I eat way too much bread, especially at lunch time, makes me feel sluggish, so this sounds perfect for me. I love sweet potatoes too 🙂

Bread does the same thing to me too! I think I’m not so good on lots of wheat. Sweet potatoes can be too sweet for me, depending on how they’re cooked but this was just so lovely.
I have never tried sweet potato with tuna but I bet it’s a delicious combination. I have both in the fridge so will try out for lunch. Yum. I’m hungry already. K x #foodpornthursdays
Ooh yes do try it and let me know what you think 🙂
Sounds delicious, I think my kids will love it!
It really is delicious and I could eat a mountain of it!
