  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped garlic
  • 160 ml (2/3 cup) tomato purée
  • 250 ml (1 cup) dry orzo
  • 310 ml (1 1/4 cups) chicken broth
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) paprika
  • 1.25 ml (1/4 tsp) chili flakes
  • Salt to taste
  • 125 ml (1/2 cup) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 30 ml (2 tbsp) fresh basil, chopped

  • 2 packages of 12 SAVOURA | Cerizo tomatoes, 150 g each

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F).
  2. In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Cook the shallots and garlic for 1 minute.
  3. Add the tomato purée, orzo, broth, paprika, and chili flakes. Season with salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low-medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until almost all the liquid is absorbed. Stir in the Parmesan and basil. Remove from heat.
