Best 3 Quick Easy Rice Tuna Dish Recipes

SPICY TUNA RICE BOWL

Steps:

• Pour rice into a heavy pot and add water; swirl to allow rice to settle. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat; do not stir. Reduce heat to low, cover, and continue to simmer for 15 minutes.
• While rice is cooking, place tuna into a large mixing bowl and break up with your hands or a fork. Toss in red bell pepper, jalapeno, 1/4 cup green onions, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, and lemon juice. Mix with a fork until thoroughly combined.
• Turn off heat and let rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
• Fluff rice with a fork to separate the grains and break up any large clumps; transfer into the mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with a spoon until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold like a rice salad, topped with red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon green onion.

TUNA AND RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Combine milk, both soups, tuna, rice, celery, onion, bell pepper, garlic, oregano, parsley, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl and mix until well incorporated. Pour into the prepared dish and cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until rice is tender, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving, about 10 minutes.

SIMPLE TUNA CURRY WITH RICE

Steps:

• Start the rice cooking.
• Over low to moderate heat, saute onion, garlic, and your vegetable of choice in butter. (If you use tuna packed in oil, you can drain the oil and use that to saute the onions.)
• Season with salt and curry powder and continue to saute until veggies are tender.
• Stir flour into vegetables until it coats them and combines with the butter/oil.
• Over moderate heat, add enough of the milk to cover the vegetables, and stir to create a smooth sauce. As the milk begins to heat, the butter/flour mixture that was coating the vegetables will begin to blend with and thicken the milk. Once it becomes thick, add half of the remaining milk, and continue stirring until it again heats to the thickening point. Then add the rest of the milk, stir again, and allow to come to the thickening point for the last time. (This process is a bit difficult to describe, but not hard to do. Adding the milk at little at a time and stirring to keep it smooth as you go keeps the sauce from forming lumps and prevents scorching. You can also do this step over low heat, in which case you don't have to stand right over the pot stirring constantly, but it's still good to add the milk in stages, and stir regularly.).
• Once the sauce is heated, add the tuna, and bring back to simmering. If the tuna is packed in oil, drain the oil (which you may have used in step one). If it's packed in water, you can just dump the whole can into the sauce, water and all.
• Serve tuna curry over rice. A green veggies side is nice (steamed asparagus or broccoli, cucumbers in vinaigrette, green salad, or peas).
