This Mediterranean Tuna and Rice Pie is a flavour explosion that will satisfy everyone who eats it.
This Mediterranean Tuna and Rice Pie includes rice, onion, garlic, canned tuna, eggs, milk, sun-dried tomatoes, onions and fetta cheese. You could add mushrooms and olives if you wish. It will take 30 minutes to put together and 45 minutes to an hour of baking, but in my humble opinion, the time is worth it. I make it as a big pie to serve the family, but I also make in a mini loaf pan for work lunches.

We LOVE this recipe! The only thing I’ve changed to make it a bit healthier is I use olive oil spray instead of oil, and replaced the shop bought sundried tomatoes with a punnet of grape tomatoe chopped and baked in the oven until slightly shrivelled (to ge that sundried look – no oil used) and 1/2 cup of home roasted red capsicum (again – no oil required. The juices from the capsicum are more than enough to keep everything really moist).
This is my 10yr old daughters all time fav dinner!!!
