Ingredients

Lamb Orzo

  • ½ capsicum
  • 1 pack garlic and onion paste
  • 1 pack Spanish lamb grind
  • 1 pack smoky spices
  • ½ cup orzo pasta
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ pack cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ cup water
  • Juice of ½ lemon

Salad

  • ½ lettuce
  • 1 pack green olives
  • 30g feta cheese

Steps

  1. Cook orzo Slice capsicum. Heat a drizzle of oil in a pot on high heat. Cook lamb and garlic and onion paste for about 3 minutes, until browned.
  2. Add smoky spice mix, orzo and ½ tsp salt to pot and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add first measure of water and cherry tomatoes and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often to prevent orzo sticking.
  3. Add capsicum and second measure of water to pot and cook a further 2-5 minutes until pasta and veggies are tender. Add a little more water if orzo becomes too dry. Add lemon juice and season to taste.

  5. Serve Spanish lamb orzo risotto with salad on the side.
