How Do I Make Tuna and Rice?

Here is how you make Tuna and Rice:

Instead of cooking rice according to the directions boil rice in a lot of water without a lid until the rice is almost done (but not quite). Drain water from the rice.Melt margarine in the bottom of the pan and add the mostly cooked rice in a pile on top. Make a couple holes to the bottom with a spoon.Place the lid on the rice but wrap a tea towel around it first to absorb moisture. This makes the rice fluffy and it won't stick together. Cook on med-low.After about 5-7 minutes remove from heat.Pour tuna and oil over the mixture (break up whole tuna with a fork into flakes) add salt, pepper and lemon juice and stir.This is really good just as it is but tastes even better re heated the next day!Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CARPENSM.
