• For the salad: To the dressing, add the cooked rice, prosciutto, cheese, peppers, peas, olives, salt, fennel and tuna and basil if using. Toss well to coat in the dressing. Allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to let the flavors marry. Top with the hard-boiled eggs if using and serve.

INSALATA DE RISO WITH MORTADELLA AND TUNA RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring 4 quarts water to a boil. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is still chewy in the center, about 12 minutes. Drain in a colander and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the vinegar and salt and turn the rice out onto a rimmed baking sheet. Spread the rice into an even layer and set aside to cool. Once the rice is cool, transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, mortadella, Swiss cheese, tuna, olives, capers, chile, garlic, parsley and lemon zest; season with black pepper. Taste and season with more salt if needed. Add the lemon juice and taste again, adjusting with more lemon juice, salt and/or pepper. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
