Cooking Steps

Cook the Orzo

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.

Prep the Veg

2

Meanwhile, cut the tomato into 2cm chunks.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve.

NOTE: Adding falafel? Fry the falafel in a hot pan for 3-5 mins, turning frequently for even cooking.

Toss the Salad

3

In a large bowl, loosen the pesto with a glug of oil.
Toss the cooled orzo, chickpeas, tomato, oregano and salad leaves with the loosened pesto.
Season to taste with paprika, salt and pepper.

Finish and Serve

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.
