Instructions
1
Combine the breadcrumbs, tuna, spring onions, coriander and the lime juice in a bowl. Mix in the mayonnaise, then enough of the beaten egg to make a sticky, but not wet, mixture. Season and shape into 4 even-sized burgers. These benefit from some chilling so if you have time, put them in the fridge for 30 minutes before cooking.
2
To make the sweet chilli lime mayo, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine.
3
Preheat the oven to 140°C, fan 120°C, gas mark 1. Put the oil in a nonstick frying pan over a medium heat, then cook the burgers, 2 at a time, for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. Keep all the burgers warm in the oven.
4
Warm or toast the rolls, then spread generously with the sweet chilli and lime mayo. Sandwich a burger in each roll with a few lettuce leaves, then serve.
