Ingredients
- Rice: approx 900g/2lb cold cooked rice (about 400g/14oz uncooked rice)
- Tuna: 400g tuna in springwater
- Petits Pois: 200g frozen petits pois, defrosted
- Red Pepper: 2 red peppers, peeled with a potato peeler, deseeded and diced
- Tomato: 3 tomatoes, chopped into small chunks
- Spring Onion: 5 spring onions, finely sliced
- Flat Leaf Parsley: bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- Olive: large handful stoned green olives, roughly chopped (optional)
- Mayonnaise: 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- Lemon: juice 1 lemon
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
- The cooked rice will have probably clumped together, so break it up in a large mixing bowl. Flake in the tuna, then mix in the peas, peppers, tomatoes, spring onions, parsley and olives, if you're using them.
- Stir through the mayonnaise, lemon juice and olive oil and season to taste. Cover the bowl with cling film or place in a large plastic container and let your household serve themselves whenever they are hungry.
