Cooking Steps
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Thinly slice the mushrooms.
- Trim the leek then halve lengthways. Thinly slice half (double for 4p) widthways.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Roughly chop the spinach.
- Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- When hot, add the leek and mushrooms. Season with salt.
- Cook until softened, stirring occasionally, 2-3 mins.
- Add the garlic and vinegar.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1-2 mins.
- Add the orzo, muscat, 400ml water and 2 tbsp butter (double both for 4p) to the pot.
- Bring to the boil, cover and simmer until the orzo is al dente, 15-20 mins.
- Stir every 3-4 mins to prevent sticking.
- Meanwhile, add tomatoes and 1 tbsp oil (double for 4p) to a lined baking tray.
- Season with salt and pepper then toss to coat.
- Roast on the middle shelf of the oven until tomatoes start to burst, 10-11 mins.
TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!
- When the orzo is cooked, add the cheese and spinach to the pot.
- Stir until spinach wilts, 3-4 mins.
- Mix through the roasted tomatoes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Roughly chop the walnuts.
- Divide your veggie orzo between bowls.
