I have shared a variety of super easy dishes that you can cook with a can of Tuna. Here is a new one! The other day, when I had a cold, I wanted to eat Rice Soup, but we had run out of Rice! I couldn’t believe it. I only found Italian Arborio Rice. The fridge was nearly empty, but I found a few cans of Tuna in the pantry. I decided to cook Tuna Risotto, what else? As I was unwell, I could’t bother to stand there and keep stirring it. So I mixed everything in a saucepan and just simmered for 15 to 20 minutes. The result was really good and I quickly took a photo of it. Now I am sharing how I cooked it. You got to try this dish. Super simple, super easy, very cheap, and it was delicious with Lemon Juice, that’s important.
