• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 carrot, diced
• 1 small leek, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

• 300 g orzo

Εκτέλεση

1. Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat.
2. Cut the veggie chicken into large bite-sized pieces.
3. Once the oil is hot, add the veggie chicken and sauté until it takes on colour.
4. Add the seasoning mix, the garlic powder, the sweet and the smoked paprika and stir well.
5. Add the onion, the carrot and the leek to the pot and sauté until soft.
6. Add the garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes.
7. Add the bay leaf and the tomato paste, rubbing it into the bottom of the pot.
8. Deglaze with the wine and leave it for 3 - 4 minutes.
9. Add the tomato and the vegetable stock.
10. Lower the heat a little and let it simmer for 10 - 15 minutes.
11. In a frying pan over medium heat, add the rest of the olive oil and, once hot, add the orzo.
12. Stir constantly so it gets well coated in oil and starts to turn lightly golden.
13. This helps the orzo stay separate rather than mushy.
14. Preheat the oven to 175C.
15. Put the orzo in an ovenproof dish (about 18 x 30).
16. Add the sauce with the veggie chicken, stir and put it in the oven.
17. Bake for about 30 minutes.
18. If you like, at the end bring the strips to the top and put the grill on for a little while so they get more colour.
