Directions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, drained tuna, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, sliced black olives, and cherry tomato halves. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Season with salt and black pepper.
