Cooking Steps
1
- Boil a large pot of water for the orzo.
- When boiling, add the orzo and stock to the water and bring back to the boil.
- Cook until softened, 10-12 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a sieve and rinse with cold water to cool down the orzo.
- Return to 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.
2
- Meanwhile, cut the tomato into 2cm chunks.
3
- In a large bowl, loosen the pesto with a glug of oil.
- Toss the cooled orzo, tomato and salad leaves with the loosened pesto.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
- Divide the orzo salad between bowls.
- Tear the mozzarella over the salad.
- Crack some pepper on top and scatter over the crispy onions.
- Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
