How to Make Mediterranean Pantry Supper

  1. Cook 1 cup of rice according to package directions.
  2. While rice is cooking, chop 1 medium onion, 1 bell pepper (any color), and 2 celery stalks finely.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, pepper, and celery. Cook until slightly browned and softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 (5 ounce) can tuna (drained), 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives (halved), 1 tablespoon capers (drained), 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 2 cloves garlic (minced).
  5. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Add the hot cooked rice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar to the pan.
  7. Gently combine all ingredients until well incorporated.
  8. Taste and season with salt and pepper to your preference. Add more vinegar or herbs if desired.
  9. Optional: Transfer to a casserole dish and top with 1/2 cup shredded feta cheese. Melt the cheese under a broiler or in the microwave until bubbly and golden brown.
