Ingredients
- 150g (3/4 cup) Basmati rice
- 2 corn cobs, husks and silk removed
- 2 x 185g cans Sole Mare Tuna in Olive Oil Chunk Style, flaked, oil reserved

- 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon rind
- 60ml (1/4 cup) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Method

- Step 2Meanwhile, cook the corn cobs in a saucepan of boiling water for 8 minutes or until tender. Drain. Use a sharp knife to cut down the length of the corn cobs, close to the core, to remove the kernels.
