Cooking steps

Cook the Orzo
1
  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the orzo.
  • When boiling, add the orzo to the water and bring back to the boil.
  • Cook until softened, 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.

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

Prep the Veg
2
  • Meanwhile, zest and quarter the lemon.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 
  • Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all). 
  • Trim the root tip and green stalks of the fennel. Halve lengthways and thinly slice widthways.
Soften the Fennel
3
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • When hot, add the fennel and prawns to the pan. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. Prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Fry until cooked through, stirring, 4-5 mins.
Add the Spice
4
  • Add the garlic to the pan along with the Middle Eastern spice mix
  • Fry, stirring, until fragrant, 1 min.
Finishing Touches
5
  • Add creme fraiche, stock and 100ml water (per 2P) to the pan.
  • Stir through half the parsley along with the lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice. 
  • Simmer, stirring, until everything is warmed through, 2-3 mins.
  • Add the orzo and stir to combine.
  • Add another splash of water if you feel the orzo is too dry. 
Garnish and Serve
6
  • Taste your dish then season with salt, pepper and more lemon juice if required.
  • Divide the orzo between deep plates or bowls.
  • Garnish with a sprinkling of cheese and the remaining parsley.
  • Serve any remaining lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over.
