Mediterranean Pantry Supper
Colorful, light and palate pleasing! We were out of meat so i got creative with a can of tuna, fresh veggies and a few condiments. Cold leftovers were also yummy the next day--kind of like a rice salad.
Steps
While rice is cooking , chop vegetables.
Heat 1 t oil in large pan and cook onion , pepper and celery on medium heat until slightly browned and softened.
Turn heat down to low and stir in tuna , olives , capers , 2 t vinegar , 1 t oil , and garlic.
Cook for 5 minutes.
Add hot cooked rice to pan and remaining 1 t oil and 1 t vinegar.
Combine well.
Taste and add more seasonings if your tastebuds say so.
