    This was nice and quick to do! I looked at the comments first and cut the spinach and rocket when raw and added it in towards the end of the orzo cooking. Next time I would use 500ml stock, and 500ml water as the flavour of stock was a bit heavy for me. But still yum!

    I skipped the wine and used wild garlic in the place of the rocket/garlic and it came out great, also tastes amazing cold as a pasta salad

    Absolutely LOVE this recipe. I'm lazy and just add the greens straight in rather than cooking them first and adding back in - but still works a treat. Also like baking the feta a little in the oven.

    This didn't work too well for me. I found it weird that you had to take out the spinach/rocket only when there were also onions and garlic in the pot. My orzo stuck to the bottom of my pan and it all became a bit stodgy :( The flavor is great though!

    Hey India, no need to separate the greens from the onions and garlic before squeezing - we will amend the method to make sure this is clearer! x

    Lovely dish! Didn’t bother with the step of removing the spinach once cooked and draining; simply cooked it for longer in the pan to remove moisture then continued with the recipe as is. Also added a finely chopped leek along with the onion and some finely chopped spring onions at the end.

    This was delicious! Only adjustment I had to make was to drain the orzo after 10mins as about 1/3 of the stock hadn't absorbed. Will 100% make again and again. 🫶
