Ingredients
- 650 g of cherry tomatoes
- 1 block feta
- 3 tbsp of olive oil
- 3 tsp of black garlic paste
- 0.5 tsp of chilli flakes
- 1 tbsp of red wine vinegar
- 400 g of orzo
- 1 small handful of basil leaves
- 1 small handful of pine nuts
- 1 tsp of dried oregano
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Drop your tomatoes into a large baking tray so they’re all lying flat, then pop your block of feta on top.Step 2
In a bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, black garlic paste, oregano, chilli flakes, red wine vinegar, a pinch of salt and a few cracks of black pepper.Step 3
Pour the olive oil sauce over the feta and tomatoes and bake in the oven for 30 mins. Once the time is up, turn up the heat to 200°C/180°C fan/ gas 6 to char the tomatoes for 15 mins. Then cook the orzo for 6 mins in boiling water.Step 4
Mash up the tomatoes and feta with a fork to form a creamy sauce. Pour on your cooked orzo and mix well. Add some pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed – this usually depends on how juicy your tomatoes were.Step 5
Tear the basil leaves, sprinkle on the pine nuts et voila; dinner is served.
