Not only is orzo unusual, it's a wonderful alternative to the normal carbohydrates. Orzo is an Italian dried pasta. Each piece of the pasta is the size and shape of an unprocessed grain of barley, which is what "orzo" means in Italian, "barley." In Italy, orzo is frequently used in soups and risottos in place of arborio rice. Here we flavour it with lemon and red onion.

Aubergine Parmigiana with Chickpea Salad
Food historians have traced this dish dates back to 1837 when it appeared in Ippolito Cavalcanti's Cucina teorico-pratica published in Naples. This dish layers a deliciously tasty tomato sauce with silky aubergines and melting mozarella. We added a little chickpea side salad for an extra hit of protein, fibre, and freshness!
Smokey Hake with Chorizo Cannelini Bean & Spinach
This dish uses traditional Italian canellini beans as a base. With a slightly nutty taste and mild earthiness, they have a relatively thin skin and tender, creamy flesh. They hold their shape well and are one of the best white beans for pairing with fish. The chorizo really ups the flavour and brings out the spice in the dish.
