THE meat loaf in general they are always a good idea because they are easy to prepare, can be made in the pan or even in the oven and are versatile so everyone can enrich them as they prefer.
Tuna one in particular it can become a different dish.
It can be made with potatoes, it can be cold and without perfect cooking for the summer, it can be gratinated and baked and can be more or less tasty with the addition of herbs and spices.
Here some ideas to prepare it.

Simple meatloaf

Jumbled up 240 g of canned tuna well drained with 1 egg and 30 g of Parmesan cheese.
Add bread crumbs enough to reach the right consistency, salt and pepper.
Wrap the mixture with the greaseproof paper giving him the oval of a meatloaf and then close the candy wrap using two strings for the ends.
Cook in boiling water for 30 minutes almost completely covering the meatloaf.
Use a lid and always keep the flame low.
Once cooked and cold, cut it into slices.

In the oven with potatoes

Boil 800 g of potatoes, let them cool and mash them.
Mix them with 500 g of tuna in oil, two eggs, salt, pepper, chopped parsley and a handful of Parmesan.
If the mixture is too soft, add breadcrumbs a little at a time.
Then give it the shape of a meatloaf and place it on a sheet of parchment paper.
Season with a little oil and Bake at 200 degrees for about 20-25 minutes.

Steam powered

Prepare the meatloaf with the potatoes as in the previous recipe, but instead of putting it in the oven, wrap it in candy with parchment paper closing the ends well with two strings and cook it in a steamer or in a long, high pot. Cover it 3/4 with water.
Once ready, pass it anyway for a few minutes in the oven.

Baked breaded

If you like meatloaf with a little crust, panatelo.
You can both brush it with the beaten egg and then bread with the breadcrumbs, or simply use the breadcrumbs to sprinkle it before cooking it.
For an extra touch of flavor prepared a mix of breadcrumbs and aromatic herbs type parsley or marjoram and chop everything.

Without cooking

If you do not feel like taking the time to cook in the kitchen raw meatloaf.
But be careful because potatoes, at least those, should be boiled and, once cold, crushed and mixed with tuna. Also add capers and parsley chopped with a knife.
A pinch of salt and pepper and breadcrumbs to give a little firmness.
Wrap the meat loaf in the plastic wrap e let it cool in the fridge.
If you give it the shape of a fish it will become the classic Fake fish that children love so much.
How to accompany it? Certainly with a bit of mayonnaise.
