Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Boil a kettle
Peel and finely chop the brown onion[s]
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
2
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick, with a matching lid) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the chopped onion and cook for 5 min or until softened
Once softened, add the chopped garlic and cook for 1 min further
3
Meanwhile, dissolve 1/2 [1]Knorrvegetable stock cube in 500ml [950ml]boiled water – this is your vegetable stock
Add the vegetable stock to the pan with the softened onion
4
Add the soft cheese and orzo to the pan and give everything a good mix up until fully combined
Cook for 5 min on a medium heat
Tip: Stir occasionally to stop the orzo sticking to the pan!
5
Meanwhile, cut the cherry tomatoes in half
Chop the baby leaf spinach roughly
Tear the basil leaves
Grate the cheddar cheese
6
Add the chopped spinach and tomatoes to the orzo with half the basil leaves (save the rest for later!) and cook until the spinach has wilted
Give everything a good mix up – this is your orzo mix
7
Meanwhile, season the basa fillets with a pinch of salt and pepper
Lay the basa fillets over the orzo mix, top with the grated cheese and cook, covered, for 5 min or until the basa is cooked through – this is your one-pot fish florentine
Tip: Your fish is cooked when it turns opaque and flakes easily!
