Cooking steps

Cook the Orzo
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. 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
  • Trim the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into roughly 2cm pieces.
  • Halve the chilli and discard the core and seeds. Finely chop.
Fry the Mince
3
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat (no oil). 
  • Once the pan is hot, fry the mince until browned, 2-3 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
  • Add the Middle Eastern spice mix, bell pepper, leek and garlic to the mince and fry for 5-6 mins more. Season with salt and pepper
Simmer the Sauce
4
  • Stir in the tomato paste, stock, 100ml water (per 2P), balsamic glaze and chilli (use less if you don't like spice) into the mince.
  • Cover and cook for 6-8 mins. IMPORTANT: Mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Finishing Touches
5
  • Stir the drained orzo through the mince and mix well to incorporate. 
  • Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar
Divide and Serve
6
  • Divide the beef and pork orzo between plates.
  • Add a dollop of cream cheese on top.
