Orzotto with Tenderstem® Purple
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6.
-
Mix the garlic, shallots, orzo and vegetable stock in a roasting tin.
-
Rub the Tenderstem® Purple with a little of the olive oil, then arrange in a single layer over the orzo. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
-
Once the orzo is cooked, remove the Tenderstem® Purple from the roasting tin and set aside. Gently mix in the blue cheese, lemon zest and juice, the chopped rocket and the remaining olive oil to the orzo mixture.
-
Taste and adjust the lemon juice and season as needed. Transfer to serving plates and scatter over the roasted Tenderstem® Purple and pine nuts to serve.
TipAs with all dishes, do taste and adjust the texture and seasoning on the orzo before serving – if it looks a bit dry, add a little more vegetable stock, if the flavour needs pepping up, add more lemon juice – it’s all down to individual taste. This is excellent served cold – save leftovers and have it the next day for lunch.
