BROWN THE LAMB
Boil the kettle. Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. Pat the lamb dry with paper towel and cut into small chunks. When hot, sear the lamb until browned, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally).
ONE POT
Add the diced onions to the pot and fry until soft, 4-5 minutes. Add the NOMU rub and the tomato paste, and fry until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Add the orzo and 200ml of boiling water. Simmer until the orzo is cooked through and the sauce is thickening, 12-15 minutes. Remove from the heat, mix in the shredded Spinach and ½ the sliced Oregano, and season.
DINNER IS READY
Make a bed of the loaded orzo, crumble over the drained Feta, and garnish with the remaining Oregano. Nice one, Chef!
