Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup long-grain rice
Salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, or more to taste
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1 cup packed, flaked cooked fresh tuna
1/4 cup dry white wine
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add rice to a large pot of boiling salted water. When water returns to boil, cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well. Place rice in a serving bowl, and fold in enough olive oil to keep it from sticking.
  • Stir in red onion, garlic and mint. Fold in cooked tuna. Add white wine and additional oil to taste.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper; allow to marinate one hour. Check seasonings before serving.
