Ingredients wise, you will need: sausages, orzo, onions, garlic, vegetable stock, mixed herbs, spinach (plus any other vegetables you want to include!) and crème fraiche.
First, chop the sausages in half and remove the skin before frying them in a pan with some olive oil, allowing them to fall into smaller segments. Then add in the onions, finely chopped, as well as some garlic and continue to fry until the onions gain a bit of colour and the sausage pieces are cooked.
Next, pour the orzo into the pan and fry for a minute or two then proceed to add the vegetable stock (a vegetable stock cube or pot mixed with hot water). In terms of proportions, I would suggest a 1:2 ratio of orzo to stock; e.g. for 50g of orzo do 100g of stock.
Leave this to simmer until the stock is absorbed by the orzo up until a slightly runny texture. Then you can add the spinach and any other vegetables you wish to incorporate followed by some mixed herbs and leave again to cook for a bit. You can also stir in some crème fraiche here if you want.
Voila! It truly is very easy, and delicious. I find that meals do get quite repetitive at uni and so a switch up is always fun. Hopefully you enjoy this dish just as much as me!
