Orzo pasta provides the base for this quick and comforting recipe by Katy Beskow. Preserved artichokes are stirred through the orzo alongside a zesty lemon dressing, then finished with toasted pine nuts in true Italian style. Best of all, it's ready in just 15 minutes. Use egg-free orzo if you'd like to keep this meal vegan.

Ingredients

  • 300g dried orzo pasta (vegan if preferred)
  • 4 tbsp pine nuts
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp cider vinegar
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice
  • 1 large pinch sea salt
  • 1 large pinch ground black pepper
  • 4 jarred grilled artichokes, drained and roughly chopped

Method

Step 1

Bring a medium pan of water to the boil over a medium heat and add the orzo pasta. Cook for 7-8 mins until al dente.

Step 2

In the meantime, toast the pine nuts in a dry pan for 2-3 mins until golden, then set aside.

Step 3

In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, cider vinegar, lemon zest and lemon juice. Season the dressing with sea salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 4

Drain the water thoroughly from the orzo. Stir through the artichokes and pour over the dressing. Stir to combine. Scatter with the toasted pine nuts just before serving.
