Ingredients

Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Onion
1 medium, diced
Garlic
3 cloves, minced
Rice
1 cup, long-grain or basmati
Chicken broth
2 cups
Canned tuna
1 (15 oz) can, drained
Peas
1 cup, frozen or fresh
Salt
to taste
Pepper
to taste
Lemon juice
1 tablespoon (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
  3. Stir in the rice, ensuring each grain is coated with the oil. Cook for another 2 minutes until slightly toasted.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. After 15 minutes, remove the cover and gently fluff the rice with a fork. Stir in the drained tuna and peas, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the peas are heated through and the rice is tender.
  6. For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.

Tips

  • 💡 You can add chopped bell peppers or carrots for extra color and nutrition.
  • 💡 For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when cooking the onion and garlic.
  • 💡 Feel free to substitute vegetable broth for a vegetarian option, and use chickpeas instead of tuna.
