Instructions
- Cut the baguette into slices.
- Rub the garlic clove against the bread.
- Arrange the bread on a pan, brush with olive oil, and toast until crisp. ( A toasted oven is ideal for this)
- Place the toasted bread in a food processor fitted with the metal blade and process until fine.
- Remove the breadcrumbs and set aside. (No need to clean out the work bowl)
- Add the tuna, ricotta, parsley, and some salt and pepper to the food processor and process until smooth.
- Transfer to bowl and gradually stir in the breadcrumbs until the mixture clumps together to form balls when you roll it between your palms.
- Form the mixture into balls.
- Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a pan.
- Dredge the tuna balls first in the egg and then in the remaining breadcrumb mixture and fry until browned. Serve immediately.
