Cooking Steps

PDF
Halve the tomatoes
1

Prep: Wash and dry all produce. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Mince or grate the garlic. Strip 4 tsp thyme leaves from the stems. Chop the chorizo into 1/2-inch pieces.

2

Cook the veggies: Heat a large pot (or extra-large pan) over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil, then the onion, garlic and chorizo. Cook until onion softens, 3-4 min.

Add the orzo
3

Add the thyme leaves, tomatoes, tomato paste and orzo to the pot. Stir until everything in combined. Add 3 3/4 cups water and the broth concentrates. Cook, stirring often so the orzo does not stick to the bottom of the pot, until orzo has absorbed most of the liquid, 12-15 min. (Risotto should be slightly saucy but not soupy.)

4

Stir the Parmesan and spinach into the risotto until it wilts, 1-2 min.

5

Finish and serve: Divide orzo risotto between bowls. Sprinkle with the bocconcini and give it a good stir. The bocconcini will melt into the dish as it warms up! Enjoy!
