3 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C fan/ gas mark 6. Place the onions, garlic and tomatoes in a 26cm x 20cm baking dish, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle over the paprika along with some salt and pepper. Toss to coat and cook in the oven for 10-12 mins until soft.

  2. Step 2

    Remove the tray from the oven and add the orzo, tomato purée, miso paste, and coconut milk. Stir well, making sure to break up the tomato purée and miso paste and distribute it evenly throughout. Return to the oven and bake for a further 20 mins.
