Simple, and spreads the tuna over 2 meals. The cat gets a little treat too.

I use a small can of tuna, a packet of Dutch Curry and Rice soup mix, a couple of cups of uncooked rice and some water.

If you like oil, keep the oil in. I drain off the oil and pour it over my cat’s dried food pellets. He gets 2 meals from the oil that’s in a small can and in this way both of us get a tuna treat.

* Throw the can of tuna into a casserole dish

* Add the contents of the soup packet

* Add 2 cups of uncooked rice

* Cover with water and stir all the ingredients through each other

* Cook in a medium oven for 20 -25 mins.

After you’ve eaten a meal of this there is enough left over to have as a cold dish the next day, or to use as spread for 2 thick sandwiches. (Makes a change from vegemite).

It’s basically a light curry-flavoured, tuna-flavoured rice dish with some tuna chunks in it. I would suggest serving it with a tomato but the drought has made the tomatoes too pricey for me at the moment.

About $6
