One Pot Gochujang Meatball Orzo

We love a one pot dinner, very little washing up and loads of flavour. This dish maximises some storecupboard heros for a cost effective winner. Gochujang (Korean red chilli paste) adds a delicious sweet and spicy kick, with rich sausage meatballs, and who can resist a layer of cheesy cream mozzarella on top?

Ingredients

  • pork sausages 400 g
  • chopped tomatoes 400 g
  • gochujang 1 tbsp
  • garlic granules 1 tsp
  • chicken stock cube 1
  • orzo 300 g
  • cream 100 ml
  • frozen peas 100 g
  • grated mozzarella 100 g (grated)

Method

  • Take each sausage and pinch off the sausage meat to form it into meatballs (discarding the casing) - around 4 meatballs from each sausage.
  • Make up the chicken stock cube with 100ml boiling water per serving (e.g. for 4 people you will need 400ml stock).
  • Heat a dash of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the sausage meatballs and fry for 4-5 minutes until browned all over, then transfer them to a plate.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes, gochujang and garlic granules to the pan and fry for 1 minute.
  • Add the orzo and chicken stock, stir to combine. Leave to simmer for 10-12 minutes. Check in case you need to add more water.
  • Stir in the cream and simmer for 2 minutes, add the meatballs back into the pan and cook until warmed through, around 5 minutes.
  • When orzo is nearly cooked, add the peas and scatter the grated mozzarella on top. Cover with a lid and leave for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
  • Plate up the Gochujang Meatball Orzo, enjoy!
