Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 300g cherry tomatoes
  • 150g sun-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • ½ tablespoon sugar
  • 600ml vegetable stock
  • 2 tablespoon sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon flakey sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 150 g orzo
  • 2 tablespoon grated parmesan
  • Fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Place a frying pan on medium heat and drizzle with oil. Add in your sliced red onion, garlic, and cherry tomatoes. Frequently stir and fry for around 5 minutes. 
  • Next up, add in your sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, balsamic, and sugar. Fry for a further minute and then add in your veggie stock, sour cream, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour in your orzo and parmesan, reduce the heat to medium-low and stir continuously to avoid the orzo sticking to the bottom. 
  • If the orzo begins to stick to your pan, add in some more boiling water. 
  • Your orzo should be cooked after around 10 minutes, so give a taste to check it’s al dente, or to the texture of your liking. Feel free to season based on your preferences too.
  • Serve up, top with basil and more sour cream, and enjoy!
