Orzotto with Tenderstem® Purple
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C.
-
Mix the garlic, shallots, orzo and vegetable stock in a roasting tin.
-
Rub the Tenderstem Royale® with the olive oil, then arrange in a single layer over the orzo. Scatter with the pine nuts, then transfer to the oven to bake for 20 minutes.
-
Once baked, remove the Tenderstem Royale® from the roasting tin. Add the remaining ingredients to the roasting tin, gently mixing in the crumbled blue cheese, lemon juice and chopped rocket along with a good glug of extra virgin olive oil.
-
Taste and adjust the lemon juice and salt as needed, season with freshly ground black pepper, then transfer to serving plates and scatter over the roasted Tenderstem Royale®.
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 oil and 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.
