Cooking Steps

Preheat the oven to 210°C.
Chop the bell pepper into thin strips and then cut these 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.

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.

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.

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.
