1 egg

1 small onion

1/4 cup chopped parsley

1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)

1 tsp. poultry seasoning

Corn flake crumbs or crushed corn flakes

2 cans (6% to 7 oz. each) tuna

1/2 cup canned condensed consomme

1 tbsp. prepared mustard

1 cup fine dry bread crumbs

Combine beaten egg, drained flaked tuna, finely chopped onion and remaining ingredients except corn flake crumbs; mix well. Shape into small balls and roll in corn flake crumbs. Fry in hot deep fat (375 degrees) until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Makes 4 dozen balls.

To bake instead of fry: Put in a shallow pan, drizzle with salad oil and bake in very hot oven (450 degrees) about 10 minutes.

Variation: Chicken or turkey balls: Use 2 cans of (5 to 6 oz. each) boned chicken or turkey, finely chopped, instead of tuna. Use 3/4 cup con­densed cream of chicken soup Instead of consomme.
