This is another dish I served at the sofa-warming party I hosted for my fellow Gensan bloggers. Like the tuna sulpicao turned tuna teriyaki, I was going to make spring rolls but to my dismay (again!), I realized that the lumpia wrapper I had was already moldy so I decided to make burger patties instead. Fresh dill added a different dimension to the otherwise bland tuna meat (it has no fat so can be very dry to eat). Leftover shredded squash completed the assembly for a nutritious and filling meal.

Thanks, Orman. Daming dill dito sa bahay, if you want.
Tuna can be dry – great idea to add the squash to keep it moist.
