I don't know how to rate this..it was interesting. I have never made anything like it. It was not very hot (only about 80F) here in PA today, so I left the onions out in the sun for 3-4 hours. The onions softened and gave off a very pleasant smell. I felt that the spices and tuna went very well with this, but I would prefer to serve it without rice, personally. Thanks Sage!
