Cooking Steps

Boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan and crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amount).
Cook the orzo for 10 - 12 minutes, then reserve some of the cooking liquid before draining and setting aside.
Deseed the bell pepper and cut it into thin strips.
Slice the cucumber into crescents and finely chop the mint.

Slice the onion into half rings and crush or mince the garlic.
Heat half of the olive oil in a pot or saucepan over medium-high heat.
Fry the BBQ rub* with half each of the onion and garlic for 2 minutes over medium-high heat.
Add the passata, the sugar and 50ml pasta water per person. Lower the heat and cover with the lid, then allow to simmer for 10 - 12 minutes.

*Take care, this ingredient is spicy! Use as preferred.

Heat the rest of the olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
Fry the bell pepper with the rest of the garlic and onion for 2 minutes.
Add the chicken and fry for 7 more minutes.
Meanwhile, stir the orzo into the sauce and allow to simmer gently for 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Did you know... onion is a good source of vitamin C, which aids with iron absorption.

In a bowl, combine the cucumber with the yogurt, white wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil and half of the mint.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve the tomato orzo on deep plates and top with the chicken, vegetables and yogurt sauce.
Garnish with the rest of the mint.
