She has a few great orzo recipes

It's very forgiving, so I look at different recipes and kind of change them to suit what we like. You can chop various veg that you fancy, fry it off then add spices/herb combinations followed by chopped tomatoes/stock then some chicken thighs on the top.

My preference is onion, garlic, peppers, courgettes, then to the orzo I add some harissa paste followed by tinned tomatoes and veg stock. I coat the thighs in harissa and cook them in the air fryer to part cook then nestle in to the orzo mixture for another 15/20 min. If I have any soft cheese I add some near the end for a creamier texture.

This is my favourite ever. if you don’t want the heat from the harissa replace with a teaspoon of smoked paprika (not the spicy one!). I’ve also made it with chicken instead of prawns and chorizo.

Also needs more stock than the recipe suggests.

We had this courgette, lemon and caper orzo for dinner last night. Just served with some garlic and herb chicken and tenderstem broccoli. It was delicious.
