Chorizo Red Pepper & Spinach Orzo

Chorizo Red Pepper & Spinach Orzo After a quick rummage in my store cupboard and finding a few stray vegetables in my fridge, a delicious budget friendly meal was born. I don’t know what it is about orzo, but kids young and old seem to go nuts for it?! If you fancy a one pot family crowd pleaser, then you should probably give this a go. Serves 4 INGREDIENTS ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 250g orzo 200g cooking chorizo - sliced 2 peppers - chopped 2 onions sliced 3 cloves garlic - crushed 1-2 teaspoons smoked paprika 1 tin tomatoes 200 - 300mll stock 1-2 handfuls fresh spinach 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ METHOD Preheat the oven to 210 degrees (conventional) 190 degrees (fan) Place the chorizo, onions, garlic and peppers into a large roast tray. Season, sprinkle with smoked paprika and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and add the dry orzo. Add the paprika, tomatoes and stock and stir again. Bring to a simmer. Turn down the heat to 200 degrees conventional 180 fan, place back into the oven for 12-18 minutes, or until the stock has been absorbed and the orzo cooked. Remove from the oven and stir through the spinach and Parmesan. The residual heat will be enough to wilt the spinach.
