Tuna Cracker Cakes

INGREDIENTS
2    tablespoons light yogurt
1    teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1    teaspoon Dijon style mustard
2    tablespoons chopped green onions
6    original style Triscuit crackers, crushed
2    cans (7 ounces) albacore tuna in water, drained*
1    pinch cayenne pepper (optional)

METHOD
In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice and mustard. Stir in the chopped green  onions and then the cracker crumbs. Drain the tuna and stir into the bowl, adding the cayenne if desired. Form into two patties about 3 to 4 inches in width and let them sit for about 10  minutes.

In a medium non-stick frying pan over medium heat, add the two tuna vakes and fry for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, turning them very carefully. Remove from the pan and serve immediately with lemon wedges if so desired.

*NOTE: If so desired, this can also be made with plain flaked tuna in either oil or water.
