This was a bit of a mash really! My timings all went to pot today - we were supposed to get out the house before lunch, come back and eat but that didn't happen (don't ever trust a 3 year old to get themselves ready!)So I did a cupboard raid and it actually turned out quite well!
I love orzo - you get the same kind of effect as risotto but in a fraction of the time and with a lot less stirring!
Ingredients
Orzo
Ratatouille
Chick Peas
Tomato Puree
Sweet Chilli Sauce
Cornflour
Soya Milk
Vegetable Stock
Method
Throw the Orzo into some boiling water with the veg stock in it and let that cook and absorb all the water.
Meanwhile, put the (tin of in this case) ratatouille in a pan with the puree. Mix it up.
Add the chick peas and soya milk just to loosen a bit.
Add a little sweet chilli to taste and some salt to season.
Once it's cooked, add the orzo to the sauce and taste. Adjust seasoning/puree/sweet chilli to taste.
I added a bit of cornflour to thicken a bit because I didn't have time to be reducing and I wanted a fair bit of thick sauce.
And thassit!
The Monster ate it, so it must have been ok!
