Description

This quick and easy recipe offers a delightful twist on classic fried rice, substituting traditional rice with cauliflower rice and incorporating protein-rich tuna. The result is a satisfying and flavorful dish, perfect for a substantial meal. Imagine tender flakes of tuna mingling with the slightly nutty taste of cauliflower rice, all brought together by the richness of scrambled eggs.

The addition of diced bell pepper introduces a subtle sweetness and a satisfying crunch, while slices of creamy avocado lend a luxurious smoothness to every bite. This tuna and egg "fried rice" is more than just a meal; it's a culinary experience. The combination of textures and flavors creates a symphony on your palate.

The cauliflower rice offers a pleasant chewiness, contrasting beautifully with the soft tuna and yielding avocado. The vibrant bell pepper adds a burst of freshness, while the eggs contribute a comforting familiarity. The overall effect is both comforting and exciting, familiar yet refreshingly different.

The dish is incredibly versatile and easily customizable to your own tastes. Feel free to experiment with different types of bell peppers, such as red, yellow, or orange, for varying levels of sweetness. A squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice can add a zesty brightness, while a dash of hot sauce can provide a pleasant kick.

Consider adding other vegetables, such as chopped green onions or diced cucumber, for added flavor and texture. The possibilities are endless. This one-pan meal is not only delicious but also incredibly convenient.

It comes together quickly and easily, making it an ideal choice for busy weeknights or when you simply don't feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen. With minimal cleanup required, you can enjoy a satisfying and flavorful meal without the hassle.

Instructions

    1.
    Dice the bell pepper and thinly slice the scallion and garlic. Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over a low/medium heat. Add the bell pepper, garlic, and half the scallion. Sweat gently for a minute or two until tender and fragrant.
    2.
    Drain the tuna and flake into the skillet with the bell pepper. Add the cauliflower rice, sesame oil, and tamari sauce. Stir well to combine. Cook over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes to heat the rice and tuna through.
    3.
    While the rice mix is cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl. Season with a pinch of black pepper. You should not need to add any additional salt as the tuna and Tamari should provide enough. Beat the eggs together until smooth.
    4.
    Create a well in the center of the tuna rice mixture. Pour the beaten egg into the well in the center. Allow the egg to settle for a moment and start cooking. Mix everything together well with a wooden spoon, scrambling the egg into the rice. Cook the egg through.
    5.
    Thinly slice the avocado and roughly chop the cilantro. Transfer the egg fried rice to a serving plate or dish. Top with the remaining sliced scallion, avocado and cilantro. Serve immediately.
