risoni

Take a trip to Greece with this flavourful meat and salad combination. Perfect for using leftover sausages, or risoni.

Lamb sausages rissoles with Greek risoni salad recipe

(1kg) thick good-quality lamb sausages,

black pitted olives, chopped

oregano

(200 grams) feta, crumbled

preserved vine leaves, rinsed, drained

garlic clove, peeled

lemon

tbs extra virgin olive oil,

cherry tomatoes, quartered

red onion,

Lebanese cucumber, halved lengthways, thickly sliced

chargrilled capsicum, chopped

One Pot Chicken, Vegetable &amp; Parmesan Orzo (Risoni)

olive oil

garlic (, minced)

onion (, diced)

chicken thigh

diced vegetables ((carrots, peas, corn, capsicum/peppers, anything!))

orzo / risoni ((Note 1))

tbsp flour

(565 ml) milk (, any fat %)

(500 ml) chicken

baby spinach ((packed))

(75 grams) parmesan ((grated))

Salt and pepper

Parsley

Heat oil in a large pan over high heat. Make sure the pan is reasonably deep - around 5cm / 2.5" or more. Otherwise, use a large pot.

Add garlic and onion, cook for 1 minute.&nbsp;

Add chicken, sprinkle with salt and pepper then cook for 2 minutes until cooked on the outside (raw inside).

Add frozen vegetables (still frozen ok) and flour, stir until flour is incorporated.

Add risoni/orzo, stock and milk, then stir well.

Bring to simmer then adjust heat so it's bubbling gently (see video). Cook for 7 minutes (no lid), stirring every now and then, until risoni is almost tender (still quite soupy at this stage).

Add parmesan and spinach, stir through. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Consistency should be like a loose risotto (it absorbs liquid and thickens quite quickly when serving), nice and creamy.

Serve, garnished with parsley and more parmesan if desired!

Ready in 35 minutes, this creamy pasta is loaded with salmon, peas and spinach, and will be a weeknight winner with the whole family.

Australia’s rugged bush and the hot hills of Greece are united in their love of lamb. In fact, the story behind that jumbuck in Waltzing Matilda and the creation of Greece’s kleftiko lamb are bizarrely similar – both are hymns to sheep-stealing. Perhaps here we’d call it ‘Klepto Lamb’. This dish is an homage to both traditions, but asks: ‘If we can have mint sauce with lamb, why can’t we use other herbs? - Matt Preston.

Recipe video above. A great one-pot meal for midweek, tastes like risotto but so much easier to make! Lemon garlic chicken, surprising amount of hidden vegetables, oozy tomato risoni (orzo), loaded with Greek flavours! The list of ingredients is looks long, but there&#39;s actually a lot of repeat ingredients. :)

One Pot Chicken Risoni

chicken thighs (, boneless skinless (or breast),

garlic (, finely minced)

salt and pepper

onion (, finely chopped)

zucchini (medium,

red bell pepper/capsicum (,

chicken broth/stock (, low sodium)

oz / 400 grams canned crushed tomatoes

tomato paste

orzo/risoni ((Note 2))

cherry tomatoes ((1 Australian punnet))

tsp cooking salt ((kosher salt))

tsp black pepper

lemon juice (, drizzling at end)

(100 grams) Greek feta cheese (, crumbled (not optional))

oregano leaves ((optional))

Marinade chicken - Combine Marinated Chicken ingredients in a bowl and set aside for marinate for 20 minutes. (Skip if in hurry, can also do overnight)

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan).

Brown chicken (raw inside) - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a a large oven proof skillet or pot over high heat (Note 3). Cook chicken until lightly browned but still pink inside. Remove from skillet.

Sauté vegetables - Add 1 tbsp olive oil, garlic and onion. Saute for 1 minute, then add zucchini and bell peppers/capsicum. Cook for 2 minutes.

Add everything else - Add risoni, oregano, chicken broth, tomato, tomato paste, salt and pepper.

Scatter chicken and cherry tomatoes across the surface (don&#39;t stir in).

Bake 15 minutes - Once the liquid comes to a simmer, transfer to the oven (no lid) and bake for 15 minutes (or until risoni is just cooked, tender but still firm). There may be liquid on the surface still - that&#39;s good!

Drizzle with lemon - Remove from oven, drizzle with lemon juice. Garnish with feta and fresh oregano leaves, if desired, then serve.

Perfectly cooked Instant Pot® orzo cooks in just 2 minutes! You really only need orzo, water and salt to make this recipe. But if you want the orzo to have more flavor, then add the olive oil and garlic.
Read the blog post above for recipes and ideas that turn Instant Pot orzo into an easy family dinner.
Total Instant Pot Cooking Time: 5 minutes to reach pressure + 2 minutes at high pressure + quick release

Instant Pot Orzo

garlic cloves,

orzo (12.5 ounces)

water

salt (a generous ¼ teaspoon)

Heat the olive oil using the Saute function on the Instant Pot. I like to saute using the “normal” setting instead of the default “more” setting so that the garlic won’t burn. (Read the notes below to learn how to change the heat setting)

Add the garlic, and saute about 30 seconds. 

Add the orzo and mix well to coat in oil. For more flavor, lightly toast the orzo by sautéing it for 3 to 5 minutes, so that the orzo is lightly toasted. Some pieces will turn a darker color, make sure to stir frequently to prevent burning.  

Add the water, stirring well to scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. 

Program the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure for 2 minutes. 

Quick release the pressure immediately when the cooking time is complete.

Stir the orzo with a spatula, loosening any pieces that have stuck to the bottom. The orzo will be just a little watery and have a soft but slightly firm texture.

Turn off the Instant pot and let the orzo sit for another 3 to 5 minutes with the lid set back on until the pasta has fully absorbed the water and has the texture you want. 

Scoop the orzo out of the Instant Pot into a serving bowl so it doesn't keep cooking in the residual heat. Add more salt to taste if needed. 

From here, you can serve the orzo with just grated cheese, or read the blog post above for other serving ideas. You can also chill the orzo and turn it into a cold pasta salad. 

Oh wow, have not made orzo in an Instant Pot. Great idea! Perfect for summer pasta salads!

I love making orzo but have always just made it on the stovetop! I'm excited to try your instant pot version for a quicker and easier way to make orzo!

We love making pasta in out instant pot! This turned out great!

I halved the recipe in a 3qt IP and used broth instead of water. Perfect texture! Thank you!

Ditto on the 3 qt instant pot adjustment. Amazing! I rely on my Instant Pot because I travel full time and it is essentially my 'road kitchen'. I couldn't believe how perfectly the orzo came out. Thanks.

Thank you for the simple and delicious recipe! How much water would I need to make a full pound of orzo?

This orzo was fantastic with some veggies and buttery lemon-garlic shrimp. It’s definitely going in the rotation!

Fresh mozzarella in brine is mild, creamy and melts well in this bake.
