Method

  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a medium-high heat and fry the onion and the sprouts until golden; about 5 mins. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 1-2 mins until the garlic is fragrant. Stir in the chestnuts and orzo.
  2. Add the white wine, then turn the heat to medium-low, stirring every few minutes, allowing the orzo to simmer and reduce the liquid. Slowly add the stock, stirring well and continue to cook with the lid off for 5 mins. Cover and cook over a low heat for a further 5-8 mins until the orzo is cooked through but still holds a bite
  3. Remove the thyme stalks and serve on a large platter, topped with a burrata ball. Cut open the top and drizzle over a little olive oil and scatter with basil leaves to serve.
