Serves: 2 Servings
Ingredients
  • 250g Dried Orzo
  • 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil

  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Bell Pepper (diced)
  • 1 Red Onion (diced)
  • Salt & Freshly Ground Pepper
  • 2 Garlic Cloves (finely chopped or crushed)
  • 200g Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
  • 4 Sun-dried Tomatoes (cut into small chunks)
  • 4 tablespoons Tomato Purée
  • ½ Vegetable stock cube (dissolved in 250ml boiling water)
  • 1 heaped teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • Juice of ½ Lemon
  • Small handful of fresh parsley and fresh basil
Instructions
  1. Place a large saucepan on a high heat and add enough water so that it's half full then place the lid on. Once the water is boiling, add the orzo and par-boil for 6 minutes. Once the time has passed drain the orzo, return it to the empty pan and add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to avoid it sticking together, then set-aside.
  2. Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a saucepan (with a lid) and place on a medium-high heat before adding the peppers, onions and seasoning. Fry for 6-8 minutes or until softened.
  3. Add the garlic, cherry tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes to the same frying pan along with the tomato purée, vegetable stock, oregano, as well as the cooked orzo and simmer for a further 5 minutes with the lid on (stir after a few minutes to avoid the contents from sticking).
  4. Once the time has passed, remove the lid and add the lemon juice, basil and parsley, then drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and serve.
