Drain the tuna in a colander. Finely chop the onion. Place the tuna in a bowl with the oats, eggs, quark, and onion. Finely chop the basil and add it. If you don’t have fresh basil, you can also use 1 heaped teaspoon of dried basil. Mix all ingredients thoroughly and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. If you like, you can also add a small can of corn. Form the mixture into meatballs and roll them in a little breadcrumbs. Add a little oil (I use rapeseed oil) to a pan and fry the meatballs until they are nicely browned. Remove from the pan and drain on kitchen paper. This amount makes about 8 regular-sized meatballs.
