Hiya! This week’s post joins the Cookpad Peru # PortiPerú challenge to share recipes for Peruvian flooding victims that use non-perishable ingredients and don’t call for a lot of water. We propose this easy to make recipe for tuna fritters. Español aquí.

Fritters are a very simple dish that isn’t exclusive to Peruvian food. There are numerous other variations that originate in Asia and Europe, some of them are salty and others are sweet. What I like most about this recipe is that you can change the tuna filling for any one you prefer.


Making fritters brings back very special memories for me. Its flavor makes me remember being seven years old and spending the afternoon with my grandmother. She made fritters with lettuce and tomato that smelled amazing. I hope you like it!
