2 tsp	oregano
1 large	bay leaf, bruised
8 tbsp	(120ml) olive oil
1/2 cup	shallot, finely chopped (about 3 shallots)
200g	Bomba rice
2 cloves	garlic, chopped
2 tbsp	sherry vinegar
2 medium	tomatoes, halved and grated (leaving the skin)

In a small saucepan, heat the stock, sherry, oregano, and bay leaf to just below simmering; check for salt.
In a second saucepan, heat 2 tbsp of the olive over a medium heat; add the shallot and cook for a few minutes until the shallot starts to soften; add the rice and garlic, stirring well to coat with oil.
Stir in the stock, bring to a simmer, cover and cook, without further stirring, over a very low setting until all the liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and leave covered for a further 5 minutes; transfer the rice to a salad bowl, remove the bay leaf and stir lightly with a fork.
Whisk together the remaining olive oil, vinegar, and grated tomato; season with salt and several grinds of black pepper.
When the rice has cooled stir in the lentils, cucumber and dressing, combining well; gently fold in the tuna flakes.
On each salad plate, place a bed of the spinach leaves then the rice salad.
Garnish with torn basil leaves.
