Creamy One-Pot Orzo Pasta + Peary Delights π
|
Hello Reader Happy Friday! I hope you're well! All that sun and spring weather this week has made me extremely productive and super energised and so most of the week I have spent cooking and photographing a bunch of new recipes. I always find that grouping my tasks makes me work better and so spending full day in the kitchen cooking, photographing and then another day editing and writing everything up works better then doing a little bit of both on the same day. Following on from my guide on How to Cook Swede (Rutabaga) I shared with you couple of weeks ago, today's recipe is for delicious one-pot wonder - Creamy Braised Swede Orzo. If you're not familiar with orzo (where have you been?) it is rice shaped pasta (also known as 'risoni') which produces most delicious and creamy "risotto like" pasta dishes. As far as I'm concerned orzo has been made for one-pot recipes and considering how much I cook with it I'm surprised it is my first recipe on the blog (definitely won't be the last). As for the recipe itself it really is a keeper. Braised swede becomes creamy, slightly caramelised flavour sensation. Add some extra veggies, butter beans and orzo and we've got ourselves a proper meal that has become one of our family favourites. Enjoy!
βοΈ Something Sweet for the Weekend - Pear Edition βοΈI had some gorgeous juicy pears in my fruit and veg box earlier this week so I thought I might share couple of lovely pear recipes from the archives.
Have a fantastic weekend! Jo PS1. Please do consider leaving a review on any of my recipes that you've tried. Your reviews and comments on the blog help me a lot and I know that other readers find them helpful as well so if you can spare few minutes I would be super grateful! π Also your review might be featured in my newsletter under Reader's Review of the Week βοΈ PS2.

Hello Reader Hope you are well. First of all, I would like to apologise for a mistake in my last e-mail with Easy Easter Themed Bakes I sent on Sunday 22nd March where I said that Easter was only a week away where in fact it was two! I promise I'm not the one to wish time away and was more than happy to be put straight (thank you Liz βΊοΈ). Anyway, as I'm writing this very e-mail Easter Sunday is little over a week away so still plenty of time to check out some of those bakes. Today's recipe...
Hello Friends! I hope you're well! Easter Sunday is exactly a week away and so it must be time for a spot of Easter baking. I've got plenty of simple recipes to satisfy your sweet tooth and as you'll notice mini eggs are making frequent appearance as well. Unfortunately, vegan mini eggs I recommend in my recipes are no longer available (such a shame) but you can swap them for any chocolates/sweets you like. I also found these vegan mini eggs by Mummy Meegz (available in the UK) but I haven't...
Hello Reader Would you believe it's already Friday again! It seems like time has been using some sort of fast forward button recently. Anyway, I hope you are well and those of you in the UK have been basking in the sun this week. For me the spring is definitely here as this week marked my first load of laundry dried outside. As they say it's the little things in life, small pleasures right? π But it's time for this week's brand new recipe.... EASY GARLIC FLATBREAD. I love making flatbreads...
