Smoked salmon and lemon orzo recipe
Created by The Tesco Recipes team
This Italian-style orzo dish is packed with flavour and couldn't be simpler to make. We've used a flavour kit to keep things nice and easy, then added silky smoked salmon, sweet peas and a squeeze of zingy lemon. Fresh yet comforting, it's a satisfying dinner for two that's on the table in just 30 minutes.

Method
- Boil the kettle.
- Heat the oil and fry the onion for 3-4 minutes. Add the orzo, the paste from the flavour kit and 350ml boiling water.
- Cover and simmer on a low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender.
- Remove from heat, add the peas and stir well.
- Gently stir in the smoked salmon, the seasoning from the flavour kit and a squeeze of lemon, then return to the hob for 2-3 more minutes. Top with a lemon wedge.
- Simple swaps: Swap the orzo for any pasta or risotto rice, and replace the salmon with any protein you prefer.
