If you want something super quick and easy, try this tasty dish. I had some black rice which I’d bought at the central market and fresh snow-peas. You could just as easily use another kind of rice.
The flavor burst comes from the lemon and natural yoghurt which go perfectly with all these ingredients. I do all the food prep while the rice is cooking, so it all comes together as soon as the rice is cooked.
Just keep the onion and snow-peas slightly crunchy. If you’re worried about over-cooking them, start your rice cooking 15 minutes earlier.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of black rice
- 1 large red onion chopped
- 1 250g tin of tuna
- handful of snow-peas (mangetout)
- 1 lemon
- Natural or Greek yoghurt
- Maldon sea-salt flakes
- Black pepper
- Olive oil
Instructions
Start cooking the black rice first in a rice cooker according to directions. Add a pinch of salt
Chop up the red onion, add to frying pan with the olive oil
Slice the snow-peas into thirds (roughly), add to the onion.
Add the drained tuna
Squeeze a whole juicy lemon into the mixture and season with salt and pepper
Cook lightly so the onion and snow-peas are still slightly crunchy.
When the rice is cooked, serve together with a large blob of yoghurt on top.
So good! I went back for seconds and added another spoon of yoghurt. Alternatively serve with a medium rare tuna steak on top. Extra squeeze of lemon and voila!
