Black Rice Tuna Casserole

No time? Low Budget? Is this the meal for you! It works out to be around $4 per serve, with 31.7gms of protein per serve. We know a lot of Recipes say they take 20 minutes to make but in reality they take 40. We promise you, this one really will take only 20 minutes from start to finish. It requires no chopping and only one large lasagna tray, a large spoon and a fork, so as a bonus there's hardly any dishes. The portion size is great for lunches or a good dinner meal if you're cutting. We know what you're thinking, Tuna and Rice sounds kinda boring but this Recipe is far from it, with plenty of flavour and colours that are guaranteed to make the gang in the lunchroom ask, "What's that?!"
