Tuna Cakes
1 cup milk
1/2 cup CREAM OF WHEAT Cereal (1-minute, 2-1/2-minute or 10-minute cook time), uncooked
2 cans (6 oz. each) tuna in water, drained, flaked
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely shredded carrot (from about 1 small carrot)
1/8 tsp. pepper
6 lettuce leaves
6 tomato slices
BRING milk just to boil in medium saucepan on medium heat. Gradually add cereal, stirring constantly with wire whisk. Return just to boil; reduce heat to low. Cook 1 to 2 min. or until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; let stand 5 min.
ADD tuna, eggs, onions, carrots and pepper; mix well. Shape into 6 patties.

KRAFT KITCHENS TIPS
Great Substitute
Prepare as directed, substituting 1 can (15 oz.) boneless skinless salmon for the 2 cans of tuna.
Special Extra
These tuna cakes are also great topped with melted cheese and served in buns. Mix together tuna mixture and shape into patties as directed. Cook on nonstick griddle or in large nonstick skillet 3 to 5 min. or until bottoms are lightly browned; turn over. Top each tuna cake with 1/4 cup KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese. Continue cooking until bottoms of tuna cakes are lightly browned and cakes are cooked through. If cheese is not melted, broil 1 min. or until cheese is melted. Serve each tuna cake in a split whole grain bun along with the lettuce and tomato.
