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