Ingredients

• 350 g orzo
• 200 g cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 onion, chopped
• 40 ml cream or heavy cream
• 2 tbsp tomato concentrate
• 500 ml chicken broth
• 1 tsp chili flakes (optional)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• Mozzarella, to taste

Instructions

1. Fry the halved tomatoes in the olive oil for 2–3 minutes until they blister.
2. Add the garlic and onion and cook until fragrant.
3. Stir in the tomato concentrate, the cream, the broth, paprika, salt and pepper.
4. Pour in the orzo, stir, and cover. Cook on low 10 minutes with the lid, then 10 minutes without, stirring so it doesn't stick. Add broth if needed.
