  1. LOADED ORZO

    Preheat the oven to 220°C. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the orzo and stir in the stock and the grated garlic. Cook the orzo until al dente, 10-12 minutes. Drain and toss through a drizzle of olive oil, the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, the grated cheese, the shredded Spinach, and seasoning.

  2. PERFECT LAMB

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the lamb dry with paper towel and season. When hot, sear the lamb until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes (shifting as it colours). Remove from the pan and place on a roasting tray to finish cooking in the oven, 5-8 minutes. Rest for 5 minutes.

  3. SOME PREP

    In a bowl, combine the chopped Almonds, the chopped parsley, and seasoning.

  4. FEAST LIKE THE GREEKS!

    Plate up the loaded orzo and side with the lamb slices. Cover with a layer of the almond mixture. Enjoy, Chef!
