Cooking Steps
- Roughly chop 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.
- Bash or roughly chop the hazelnuts.
- Place a large pot over medium heat (no oil).
- Once hot, dry-fry the hazelnuts until toasted, stirring regularly, 2-3 mins.
- Remove from the pot and set aside.
- Return the pot to 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 cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1-2 mins.
- Add the orzo, muscat, 400ml water and 1 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.
TIP: Add a little water if the orzo is too dry or undercooked.
- When the orzo is cooked, add the cheese, creme fraiche and spinach to the pot.
- Stir until the spinach is wilted, 3-4 mins.
- Add a splash more water if required.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide your veggie orzo between bowls.
- Finish with a sprinkling of hazelnuts.
