Tuna Rice Casserole
Need It will be a hit at your Autumn event. A mixture of salt, tuna, garlic, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so delicious.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a medium saucepan, mix water, garlic, onion, salt and black pepper. Cover and bring to a boil.
Let boil for 1 minute, then stir in the rice. Cover and remove from heat.
Line the bottom of a 9x5 inch loaf pan with half of the rice. Top with drained tuna, cheese, tomatoes and the remaining rice.
Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine
Tunan on the menu? Try pairing with Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. The Raymond R Collection Merlot with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.

Raymond R Collection Merlot
The Merlot fills the mouth with smooth cherry, raspberry and plum flavors along with hints of earth and spice in the toasty vanilla finish. Full-bodied, yet approachable, with a good balance of acid and tannins. Pair with anything from grilled salmon, pork tenderloin, barbequed chicken and ribs to Thai red curry or Moroccan tagine.
