Cooking Steps
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.
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.
3
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- When hot, add the fennel and chicken to the pan. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Fry until cooked through, stirring, 8-10 mins.
NOTE: Swapping to prawns? Add to the hot pan along with the fennel, season as instructed and fry until cooked through, 4-5 mins.
4
- Add the garlic to the pan along with the Middle Eastern spice mix.
- Fry, stirring, until fragrant, 1 min.
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.
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.
