Cooking Steps
1
- Preheat the oven to 210°C.
- Chop the bell pepper into thin strips and then cut the strips in half.
- Cut the courgette into crescents and slice the onion into half rings.
- Leave the slab of cheese whole and spread with 0.5 tbsp per person of the roasted bell pepper sauce.
Did you know… courgettes are technically classified as a fruit, as are cucumbers, pumpkins and tomatoes. Courgettes are high in iron, vitamin C and calcium.
2
- Transfer all the vegetables to an oven dish, along with the Italian herbs.
- Add the balsamic vinegar and drizzle with olive oil, then toss well to coat, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Place the slab of cheese in the middle of the oven dish, on top of the vegetables. Bake in the oven for 18 minutes (see Tip).
Tip: bake until the cheese is soft and the vegetables are done.
3
- Heat a clean deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Toast the orzo for 1 minute, then pour in plenty of water and bring to a boil.
- Crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amount).
- Reduce the heat to low and then boil the orzo for 10 - 12 minutes, covered.
4
- Drain the orzo and then transfer to the oven dish.
- Mix well to combine with the cheese and vegetables, then stir in the rest of the roasted bell pepper sauce before serving.
