Saganaki Inspired Baked Orzo and Paprika Prawns

with Courgette and Greek Style Cheese

Named for the small frying pan in which they're made, saganaki dishes are often served as appetisers, featuring the local cheese and sometimes a rich tomato sauce. Prawn saganaki is a popular variation, which we've turned into a baked orzo dish to serve as a main meal but with all the Greek inspired flavours.

Instructions

Get Prepped
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. 

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Trim the courgette, then halve lengthways. Slice widthways into 1cm thick pieces.

Trim and thinly slice the onion

Fry Time
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, wide-bottomed ovenproof pan on medium heat. TIP: If you don't have an ovenproof pan, use a normal pan and transfer to an ovenproof dish before baking.

Once hot, add the onion and courgette and stir-fry until starting to soften, 5-6 mins.

Add the orzo and half of the garlic and fry until fragrant, 1-2 mins.

Bake the Orzo
3

Once fragrant, stir through the passata, vegetable stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).

Bring up to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Pop a lid on the pan (or cover tightly with foil). Transfer to the middle shelf of the oven, until the orzo is tender, 20-25 mins.

Cook the Prawns
4

When there's 10 mins of cook time remaining, drain the prawns.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the prawns. Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with smoked paprika and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes. Add the remaining garlic and fry for 1 min more,

Once cooked, remove the pan from the heat and drizzle over the honey (see pantry for amount). IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. They're cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.

Finishing Touches
5

Once the orzo is cooked, remove from the oven and stir through the harissa and butter for the sauce (see pantry for amount).

Add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if your sauce is looking a little thick.

Serve Up
6

Share your orzo between your serving bowls. 

Top with your garlic paprika prawns

Crumble over the Greek style salad cheese to finish.
