Ingredients:

  • 1½ cup Sunwhite Medium Grain Rice

  • 2 tsp Cumin Seeds

  • 1 Large Brown Onion (diced 1cm)

  • 850 g Tuna In Oil (drained, flaked)

  • ¾ cup Firmly Packed Fresh Coriander ((or mint, flat leaf parsley or combined))

Method

  • Start with the rice. To cook, in a saucepan, add 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of cold water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stand, covered for 5 minutes. If you are not sure how, we have a helpful “How to Cook rice section” to make you a pro. If you would like to use a brown rice in this recipe, simply add an additional ½ a cup of water.

  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tbs of oil with the cumin in a large non-stick frypan (or wok) over medium heat until the cumin is fragrant. Add the onions and stir-fry until slightly translucent. Add the tuna.

  • Fold through the rice. Stir to combine, then fold in the fresh herbs. If you have a lemon lying around, a sprinkle of zest and 2 tsp of lemon juice will liven things up. Taste and season to taste with light soy or salt, followed by lots of cracked black pepper.

Medium Grain

White medium grain rice is a round, tender and succulent grain, allowing it to lock in moisture when it is cooked. This rice is often used in dishes that require a bit more creaminess, like paella or risotto. It is also ideal in your favourite Middle Eastern, Korean and Spanish dishes.
