Orzo is a perfect canvas for flavours. As it's relatively small, it can easily absorb the delicious flavours of spices and sauces.
Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps
1
- Prepare the stock.
- Crush or mince the garlic.
- Heat a light drizzle of olive oil in a pot or saucepan over medium-high heat. Fry the onion with the garlic and paprika for 2 minutes, then stir in the orzo and fry for 1 more minute.
- Pour in the stock and cover with the lid, then allow to cook for 10 - 12 minutes over low heat until done. Stir regularly and add a splash of water as necessary if the orzo becomes too dry.
2
- Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the chicken for 7 minutes until done.
- Dice the cucumber and halve the tomatoes, or cut any larger ones into quarters.
- In a large bowl, combine the cucumber with the tomatoes, the extra virgin olive oil and the balsamic vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3
- Finely chop the mint and cut the lemon into wedges.
- In a bowl, combine the yogurt with half of the mint and the juice of one lemon wedge per person.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
- Serve the orzo on deep plates and arrange everything on top.
- Drizzle with the yogurt sauce and garnish with the rest of the mint.
- Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
