½ cup goat cheese

1/cup garden peas

Method:

2)    In large pan melt the butter over medium to high heat. Add the shallots, fennel and sauté for one minute.

3)    Add the cooked red rice, drained tuna, peas, chicken soup and parsley. Mix well, season with salt, pepper and pour into a casserole dish.

4)    Crumble the goat cheese over the mixture and then evenly coat the whole mix with the crumbled terra chips.
