Baking orzo in the oven leaves you somewhere between a pasta bake and a risotto. Here, I’ve added punchy Tesco Finest pitted Halkidiki olives and sweet red peppers. The dish is finished with Tesco Finest halloumi, which is traditionally crafted in Cyprus and hand folded around a fresh mint leaf for an extra burst of flavour – its high melting point makes it ideal for baking. To cut through the salty cheese, I’ve added a zesty salsa verde.
