Easy, peasy, and so delicious.<\/p>\n

2 Albacore tuna steaks
\n8 ounces Basmati rice
\n1 medium onion, chopped
\n3 tbsp butter
\n8 ounces sliced mushrooms, sauteed<\/p>\n

Heat oven to 425F. Place tuna steaks in a baking dish and add 2 cups of water.\u00a0 Bake, covered in foil, for 25-30 minutes, or until tuna flakes and is cooked through.\u00a0 Drain off cooking liquid and reserve. Using forks, flake the tuna.<\/p>\n

In a medium sized saucepan with a tight fitting lid, melt butter, and saut\u00e9 onion until just translucent. Add Basmati rice and swirl around with onion and butter to coat.<\/p>\n

Add enough water to the reserved cooking liquid (if necessary) to make 2 cups of liquid. Add to the rice, stir to combine, and bring to a boil. Reduce to low and clamp on the lid. Allow to cook for 15-20 minutes or until all liquid is evaporated.<\/p>\n

Turn the rice out into a serving dish and, using forks or bamboo spatulas to combine, add tuna and mushrooms. (Never use spoons because that makes the rice gummy.) A nice addition might be freshly cooked peas, asparagus cuts, or even broccoli florets. Some people might like quartered hard boiled eggs (I recommend 3 or 4 eggs be used), and you may sprinkle with dill, cilantro, or parsley for additional colour if desired.<\/p>\n

Serves 4, generously.<\/p>\n
