recipe

Yellow onion

Step 1

Peel, halve & small dice the onion.

Olive oil

Step 2

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Add the diced onion with a hearty pinch of salt & cook for 5-6 min, until softened & translucent.

Orzo
Chicken broth

Step 3

Add the orzo & chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, cover & cook for 10-12 min, until the orzo is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent the orzo from sticking to the pan. Add a couple tbsp of water per serving if the orzo is absorbing the liquid too quickly.

Peas (frozen)
Parmesan (grated)
Lemon

Step 4

Uncover the skillet & remove from the heat. Stir in the peas & Parmesan. Grate in the lemon zest, then season with salt & pepper. If the orzo looks dry, add a couple tbsp of water per serving - it should be slightly soupy.

Cod (fresh)

Step 5

Add the cod filets, nestling them into the orzo. Sprinkle the filets with salt & pepper. Return to a simmer, cover the skillet & cook for 8-10 min, until the cod is cooked through & flakes easily.

Mint (fresh)

Step 6

Remove from the heat. Garnish with fresh mint (optional), season with extra black pepper & sprinkle with extra grated parmesan. Serve with lemon wedges, if you'd like. Enjoy!

Do you like a hint of heat? Try adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes when you're sautéing the onion!
