Ingredients

  • 200 g of orzo
  • 2 courgettes, cut into bite size
  • 1 tbsp of olive oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 tbsp of coriander seeds
  • 1 handful of green olives
  • 1 small bunch of parsley, leaves only, roughly chopped
  • 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 500 ml of veg stock
  • 70 g of sugar snap peas, halved or whole
  • 300 g of raw prawns (optional)
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp of ground cumin
  • 1 tsp of dried oregano

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4. Pour 1 tsbp olive oil into an ovenproof dish and cook the onions until lovely and soft.

  • Step 2

    Add the garlic and then the coriander seeds, cumin and oregano with a splash of water to help cook the mixture.

  • Step 3

    Add the courgettes and stir in the orzo followed by the tomatoes and stock. Season and bring to the boil. Cover with a lid and bake in the oven for 15-20 mins.

  • Step 4

    Remove from the oven and give the pan a good stir, as the orzo does get stuck to the base of the pan. Stir in the sugar snap peas and olives, and arrange the prawns on top, if using. Cover again and cook for 5 mins.

  • Step 5

    Squeeze the lemon over the top, stir and serve scattered with parsley.
