Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C, 180°C fan, gas 6.
- Put the pepper and onion on a baking tray and cook for 15 minutes, or until starting to soften. After this time, remove a 1/3 of the peppers and tip into the bowl of a food processor. Return the remaining 2/3 to the oven with the diced chorizo and cook for a further 10 minutes.
- In the meantime cook the orzo according to packet instructions until just tender. Drain and cool under cold running water, drain again and set aside.
- To make the dressing add the dressing ingredients to the food processor with the roasted peppers and 3 tablespoons tepid water, whizz until completely smooth. Set aside.
- To assemble the salad, tip the roasted peppers, onions and chorizo into the cooled orzo, fold through the cherry tomatoes and chopped parsley. Stir through the dressing and serve.
