All my favourite Mediterranean flavours in a delicious orzo dish perfect for lunches!
A lot of you asked for lunch ideas so this is my first lunch recipe! Easy to make in a large batch and keep in containers in the fridge for a few days of lunches. It's also easily adapted to be made vegetarian or vegan!

200g Orzo

2. Prepare all the vegetables and chorizo and add to a large roasting dish. Drizzle with olive oil, add the oregano, season with salt and pepper and mix together in the tray.
3. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes until all vegetables are soft.
4. In the final 10 minutes of the vegetables roasting add the orzo to salted boiling water and cook per pack instructions.
