Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 pouch (6.4 oz.) or 2 pouches (2.6 oz.) or 2 cans (5 oz.) StarKist® Chunk Light or Albacore Tuna in Water (if cans, chunked and drained)
  • 2 tbsp. butter or margarine
  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • ½ cup finely chopped onion
  • ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1-1/2 tsp. dried dill
  • 2 cups water
  • 2–½ cups assorted fresh or frozen and thawed vegetables (peas, corn, sliced carrots, broccoli florets, sliced zucchini and mushrooms)

Directions

  1. In a medium sauce pan, melt butter over medium-high heat; cook rice and onions, stirring until rice is golden and onion is soft. 
  2. Stir in pepper, dill and water.  Bring to a boil and cover.  Reduce heat and simmer about 15 minutes or until rice is almost tender.  (not all the liquid will be absorbed).
  3. Add vegetables; cook 5 minutes or until tender.
  4. Add tuna and ½ cup cheese, stirring to blend.  Serve topped with remaining cheese.
