Whip up a budget-friendly weeknight meal with pantry staples - antipasto, tuna, and rice!
Ingredients:
  • 18.20 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, halved, thinly sliced
  • 300.00 gm white long-grain rice
  • 1/2 x 270g jar semi-dried tomatoes, drained, roughly chopped
  • 230g jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained (see note)
  • 400g can diced tomatoes
  • 510.00 gm salt reduced chicken style liquid stock
  • 425g can tuna in oil, drained, flaked
  • 62.50 ml chopped fresh basil leaves, plus extra leaves to serve
  • 125.00 ml pitted Sicilian olives
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced).
  • In a large heavy-based, ovenproof frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion until softened for about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant for about 1 minute. Add rice, semi-dried tomato, and artichoke. Stir for 1 minute.
  • Combine canned tomatoes and stock in a large oven-safe dish and stir. Bring to a boil, then cover with a lid or foil and bake for 25 minutes until rice is tender. Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in tuna and chopped basil. Let sit covered for 5 minutes to heat the tuna through. Garnish with olives and extra basil before serving.
