Instructions

Start by cooking the rice. Put 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan and heat. Then slice up a garlic clove and add. When the garlic starts to color, add the rice. Stir for a couple of minutes and then add 2 cups hot water and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook over high heat for 7 minutes, then reduce and simmer for 8 more minutes. If the rice has absorbed all the water in this time but is still hard, add a little more water. Let stand for a few minutes.

Start by preparing the ingredients. Peel the carrot and chop up into small pieces. Wash and cut the tomato into pieces of the desired size. Drain the tuna from the can. Then open the can of chickpeas and rinse under running water.

In a bowl, combine 5–6 tablespoons of rice with the carrot, tomato, tuna, and chickpeas. Stir gently. If you want, dress with a little oil and salt. Awesome!
