Take the onion and dice it into small cubes, as well as the bell pepper. Now open the tuna and squeeze out as much water as possible. Then put the tuna in a bowl and gradually mix it with the eggs (for those on a very strict diet, you can omit the egg yolk and use 2-3 more egg whites instead). Now add the chopped onion and bell pepper, along with 1-2 teaspoons of oil (preferably rapeseed oil due to its omega fatty acids), and seasonings if desired, and knead the mixture as you would with meatballs. Now take the pan and heat the remaining oil, initially on the highest heat, as the meatballs will be seared. Now form meatballs with your hands, preferably fairly flat so they don’t fall apart later. After searing both sides (approx. 1 minute per side), let them cook a little longer over medium heat, depending on your taste.
