Advice on this Tuna on Rice recipe

[oofencocotte]

Hi there,

 

I'm making a dish where the only cooking involved is cooking the rice. Setting up the rice cooker in the morning so I can make lunch super fast.

 

What I put together this afternoon was: 

 

Canned tuna, mixed with chopped chives. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, olive oil, lemon. Crumbled feta. Then mixed through the rice.

 

It tasted pretty good I think. Does anyone have any feedback on the ingredients? And any similar quicky recipes that I can mix with the rice? I can't cook anything where I am except for the rice. 

 

Many thanks

I'd be willing to try something like that, although I personally am not a fan of garlic powder and would probably use minced scallions (or garlic) instead. Other additions could be preserved lemon, parsley, and/or olives.

 

You could take it in a different direction by adding diced tomatoes, olives, capers, basil, olive oil, salt, pepper and grated parmesan cheese to the rice. (Rice puttanesca, anyone?) Add some finely chopped salami to the mix if you think you need meat.

 

By the way: welcome to eGullet!
