Instructions

1. Drain the tuna cans through a sieve over a bowl and gently flake the tuna. Finely chop the onion, roughly chop the garlic, and finely chop the red pepper and the peeled carrot.
2. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add 3 tbsp (45 ml) of the oil from the tuna cans.
3. After a couple of minutes, add the chopped vegetables and stir constantly. When they are lightly sautéed after 4 minutes, add the oregano and thyme and mix quickly.
4. Add 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) water and season generously with sea salt and black pepper. Raise the heat to high and stir gently.
5. Rinse the rice in a sieve under running water for 1 to 2 minutes, until the water runs clear.
6. Once the liquid boils, add the rice and stir gently. Cover, lower to low heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked through.
7. Take the pan off the heat and remove the lid. Stir in the flaked tuna, chopped parsley and lemon juice. Fluff the rice gently with a fork and serve from the pan or transfer to dishes.
