Speedy Smoky Burrata and Chorizo Orzo
with Cheese, Peas and Rocket
Not to be confused with rice, orzo is actually a type of pasta. Whilst chorizo gives some of the flavour, we're also using smoky base paste, made with smoked paprika and smoked salt, to bring rich smoky flavour to your dish.

Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.
