Cooking steps

Roast the Chickpeas
1
  • Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the orzo
  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve.
  • Pop the chickpeas onto a lined baking tray. Toss with half the Cajun spice, saltpepper and a drizzle of oil.
  • When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until the chickpeas are golden, 15-20 mins. Turn halfway through.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

Make the Orzo
2
  • When the water is boiling, add the orzo and bring back to the boil.
  • Cook until al dente, 10-12 mins. 
  • Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pot, off the heat.
  • Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.
Get Prepped
3
  • Meanwhile, halve the cherry tomatoes.
  • Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
  • Trim the courgette and slice into 1cm thick rounds.
  • Halve, peel and slice the onion as thinly as you're able.
Pickle the Onion
4
  • Toss the courgette in the remaining Cajun spice, salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil.
  • Arrange in a single layer on a lined baking tray and roast until golden, 8-10 mins.
  • Meanwhile, pop the sliced onion into a small bowl along with the vinegar and ½ tsp sugar (per 2P).
  • Add a pinch of salt, mix together and set aside.

TIP: Use the same tray for the chickpeas and courgette if there's space for both.

Toss the Salad
5
  • Add the cooked orzo, chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, aioli and half the parsley to a large bowl.
  • Crumble in half the Greek style cheese and toss until everything is coated and evenly distributed. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Slice the beef into 1cm strips.
  • Place a large pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, fry the beef strips until browned, 2-3 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat and its packaging. Meat is safe to eat when the outside is browned.
Finish and Serve
6
  • Divide the orzo salad between bowls.
  • Arrange the beef, pickled onion and roasted courgette on top.
  • Finish with a scattering of hazelnuts, remaining Greek style cheese and remaining chopped parsley.
