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 1 cup rice. Stir for a couple of minutes and then add the 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 short while, covered with a lid.

Prepare the ingredients. Drain the tuna from their cans. Wash, peel, and dice the mango. Mince the onion. Then wash and cut the cucumber into pieces of the desired size.

In a bowl, combine the tuna, mango, onion, and cucumber. Add several tablespoons of rice (the amount you want to eat). Mix everything together. Squeeze the juice from 1 lemon over the dish. Mix again. It’s that easy.
