Step 1:





Drain the tuna into a cooking pot and fry the onion in it. This will help get the tuna and chilli taste through the dish.

Step 2:

Mix the stock with an equal amount of water (i.e. 1.5 cups). Add the rice to the onions and let it cook over a medium heat for about 5 minutes so that the oil coats the rice nicely.

Step 3:





Add the wine and allow the alcohol to evaporate.

Now, start adding the stock. This is the slow and boring part. Only add a ladle in at a time and maybe move the heat up a little to speed it up (not too high - the rice still has to cook). Keep stiring and once a ladle has been absorbed add another. This takes around about 30-40 minutes. Periodically check the granules to see if they are soft. If not, add some water (if you run out of stock) and keep mixing it through.
