Ingredients
300g Cooked Beetroot
200g orzo pasta
500ml vegetable stock
1 red onion (chopped)
150g mushrooms (chopped)
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dill
1 teaspoon galic powder
225g Halloumi
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Directions
- Pat the beetroot dry and cut into small cubes.
- Prepare the 500ml vegetable stock
- Heat a small amount of oil in a pan on a medium-high heat and add the chopped red onion and mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes
- Add the orzo pasta and cook for 1 minute
- Add in the beetroot and spices (I use a spice mix, but the allpsice, paprika, dill and garlic powder should be similar in taste)
- Add the vegetable stock, stir and then add the pan lid with the spatula/wooden spoon still in the pan so that there is space for steam to escape
- Allow to bubble away until most of the liquid is drained, this will be around 15 minutes
- While the orzotto is bubbling, fry up some oil in a frying pan and cut the halloumi into large cubes. Add to pan and turn regually until browned on all sides, turn off heat.
- Serve the beetroot orzotto and sprinkle the halloumi on top.
