- In a pan heat the olive oil, add the onions and brown
- Next add the tuna (ensure can is drained) and gently fry off for 5 minutes
- Add the can of creamed corn, followed by all your vegetables. Also add your chosen grain (such as cooked quinoa) at this point. (Note: if you increased the vegetable quantity, add another can of creamed corn at this point).
- Add pepper to taste. You do not need to add salt to this dish however, you can add a dash at this point if you choose.
- Allow the mixture to simmer for 20 minutes, occasionally stirring.
- Once the vegetables are combined and softer, transfer the mixture into a baking tray (large enough to fit the cooked vegetables).
