Another easy recipe from Diana Henry.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion peeled and very finely chopped
- 300 g cherry tomatoes halved
- 2 plump garlic cloves peeled and finely chopped
- 1 red chilli deseeded and finely sliced
- 625 ml fish or chicken stock or a mixture of white wine and stock
- 1 tbsp arak or ouzo
- 325 g orzo pasta
- 325 g shelled raw king prawns
- Finely grated zest of ½ lemon
- 2 tbsp each of chopped dill and parsley
- 25 g feta cheese crumbled, to serve
Servings:
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a medium-large saucepan and sauté the onion until it’s beginning to soften and has taken on a little colour. Add the tomatoes and cook them until they are soft and collapsing, but haven’t completely disintegrated.
- Stir in the garlic and chilli and cook for a minute, then add the stock and arak and bring to just under the boil. Toss in the orzo and season with salt and pepper. Adjust the heat so the mixture is simmering and cook for about 8 minutes. The orzo should be just soft.
- Quickly stir in the prawns, lemon zest and herbs. Cook for a couple of minutes – the prawns will turn from grey to pink. Taste for seasoning – you might want some lemon juice or more salt. You can also add a drop more arak at this point.
- Serve and offer the feta cheese on the side.
