Cooking Steps

Get Prepped
1
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Roughly chop the mushrooms.
  • Halve the chilli lengthways. Deseed and finely chop.
  • Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
Soften the Veg
2
  • Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, fry the garlic, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-6 mins.
Cook the Orzo
3
  • Add stock, 400ml water (per 2P), ½ tsp sugar (per 2P), ½ tsp salt (per 2P) and 1 tbsp butter (per 2P) to the pot.
  • Stir in half the parsley along with the orzo, and chopped chilli (use less if you don't like spice). 
  • Bring to the boil, cover and simmer until the orzo is softened, 15-20 mins. Stir every 3-4 mins to prevent sticking.
  • Once cooked, stir through the creme fraiche and sun-dried tomato paste. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
