Ingredients
3 cups Fresh tuna fillet
4 cups White or brown rice
2 Onions, peeled and diced
1 cup Fresh dill, chopped
0.05 liter Olive oil
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until they become translucent and softened, approximately 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the rice to the pot and stir well to coat the grains with oil. Toast the rice for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until it becomes fragrant and slightly golden.
Pour water into the pot using approximately a 1:1 rice-to-water ratio (about 4 cups water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the rice is nearly tender and most liquid has been absorbed.
While the rice cooks, prepare the tuna by cutting it into bite-sized pieces or flaking it with a fork if using canned tuna. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Once the rice has cooked through, gently fold in the flaked or diced tuna and the chopped fresh dill. Mix carefully to distribute the tuna and dill evenly throughout the rice. Let it warm through for 1 to 2 minutes over low heat.
Remove from heat and let the dish rest covered for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve warm, dividing evenly among four plates or bowls. Enjoy this light and aromatic Mediterranean meal.
