Makes 4 servings.

l red capsicum  - cut into large chunks (I used roasted red capsicum)

1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 x 400g can diced tomatoes
1 cup water
1 x 425g can tuna in spring water, drained and flaked
S & P
20g parmesan cheese
65g cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped parsley

Preheat oven to 180^o fan forced

Place onion and capsicum and garlic into TM bowl and chop, speed 5 for 3 seconds.  Add the oil and saute 100^o on speed 2 Reverse for 4 minutes.

Add rice, cook 5 minutes on reverse 100^o speed 1.

Add tomatoes, water, tuna, peas & corn, parsley & S&P to taste.

Mix for 3 minutes 100^o on reverse speed 2.

Spray an ovenproof dish, pour in the mixture, cover the dish & bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Clean the TM bowl and grate the cheeses for 10 seconds on speed 6.

Remove the lid from the casserole, sprinkle on the cheeses and bake a further 10 minutes.

Chelsea -  decided to give this one a go tonight.  It holds together really well on the plate when left to sit for a little while after baking. It was a teeny bit bland so I would definitely use a roasted capsicum like you did JD or perhaps add some sundried tomatoes next time.  Altogether it's an easy and tasty recipe for people who like tuna (I'm gradually acquiring a taste for it).

I love the sound of this.  I always have all the ingredients on hand, so this is a great tuna variation.

Thanks Judy. When we have eaten the fish we catch at Monkey Mia we usually get our fish fix from tuna or tinned salmon as we can't eat the fish from the shops. Too fussy.

Good work JD - simple and succinct again.   Good to see the fingers are working.

Thanks, yes I'm starting to feel great now.  By the way, this dish tastes even better the next day.

Gosh I can't remember what it tasted like Chelsea, it was posted so long ago but I'm sure I would add some chilli these days too :D :D  Thanks for trying it.
