Method

  1. 1

    Finely chop {Onion} and {Garlic}, halve {Cherry Tomatoes}, roughly chop {Fresh dill} and {Fresh parsley}, slice the {Kalamata Olives}, crumble {Feta}, and zest and juice the {Lemon}.

    ~12 min

  2. 2

    Heat {Olive oil} in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add the {Onion} with half the {Salt} and cook until softened. Stir in the {Garlic}, {Oregano}, and {Paprika} for 1 minute.

    ~6 min

  3. 3

    Stir in the {Tomato paste}, then add the {Orzo}, {Cherry Tomatoes}, and {Vegetable Stock}. Bring to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and simmer, stirring a few times, until the orzo is nearly tender and the liquid has reduced to a glossy sauce.

    ~12 min

  4. 4

    Stir in the {Prawns}, {Spinach}, {Kalamata Olives}, remaining {Salt}, and {Black pepper}. Simmer just until the prawns turn pink and the spinach wilts.

    ~4 min

    Take off the heat and fold through the {Lemon} zest and juice, most of the {Feta}, most of the {Fresh dill}, and most of the {Fresh parsley}. Let it sit for 2 minutes to thicken slightly.

    ~2 min

    Spoon into bowls and finish with the remaining {Feta}, {Fresh dill}, and {Fresh parsley}.
