Saganaki Prawns with Orzo

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 5 chopped garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 2 tbsp tomato puree
  • 200ml dry white wine
  • 300g orzo
  • 2 x 400g tins of chopped tomatoes
  • 500ml chicken stock
  • 350g raw king prawns or similar
  • Handful of chopped parsley
  • 50g crumbled feta
  • ½ lemon, cut into wedges to serve
  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion with a pinch of salt for 4 mins. Stir in the chilli flakes, garlic, oregano and tomato puree, and cook for 2 mins. Increase the heat, pour in the wine and bubble to reduce by half. Stir in the orzo, stock and cherry tomatoes.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 7 mins, or until the orzo is al dente. Stir in the prawns and cook for 3 mins or until pink, then season well and scatter with parsley and feta. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing, and maybe some ciabatta slices on the side.
