  • Place a large pan or pot over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp butter (per 2P) and a drizzle of oil.

  • Add the paprika and cherry tomatoes and cook for 1 min more.
Add the Orzo
3
  • Pop in the orzo, creme fraiche, stock, 400ml water (per 2P), ¼ tsp sugar (per 2P) and ½ tsp salt (per 2P).
  • Bring to the boil, cover and simmer until the orzo is tender, 15-20 mins.
