Cooking Steps
1
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Roughly chop the mushrooms.
- Halve the chilli lengthways. Deseed and finely chop.
- Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
2
- Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the garlic, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-6 mins.
3
- Add stock, 400ml water (per 2P), ½ tsp sugar (per 2P), ½ tsp salt (per 2P) and 1 tbsp butter (per 2P) to the pot.
- Stir in half the parsley along with the orzo, and chopped chilli (use less if you don't like spice).
- Bring to the boil, cover and simmer until the orzo is softened, 15-20 mins. Stir every 3-4 mins to prevent sticking.
- Once cooked, stir through the creme fraiche and sun-dried tomato paste. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
- Divide your creamy cherry tomato orzo between bowls.
- Top with a scattering of cheese and remaining parsley.
