Cook Time: 15 min

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 150g semi-dried tomatoes, halved
  • 80g baby rocket leaves
  • 2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley

Note: soft and intensely flavoured, these tomatoes can be used in the same way as dried tomatoes.

PREPARATION DIRECTIONS:

  1. 1.
    Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat and add eschalots and garlic, stirring until onion is soft. Add orzo and toss to coat in butter.
  2. 2.
    Stir in the stock and wine, bring to the boil and then simmer, stirring occasionally, until orzo is al dente and stock is almost absorbed. Stir in tomatoes, rocket and parsley.
