BUBBLING Orzo
Boil a full kettle. Fill a pot for the Orzo with 200ml of salted boiling water. Once the water is boiling rapidly, cook the orzo for 7-10 minutes until cooked al dente. Remove from the heat on completion, drain if necessary, and toss through some oil to prevent sticking. Dilute the stock with 80ml of boiling water.
Pork PARTY
Pat the Pork schnitzel dry with some paper towel. Place the spiced flour (lightly seasoned) in a shallow dish. Coat the schnitzels in the flour mixture, dusting off any excess. Place a pan (large enough for the Orzo) over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the schnitzels for 1-2 minutes per side until cooked through, and golden. Remove from the pan on completion, cover with a plate to keep warm, and rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing.
BETTER WITH SAGE
Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a generous knob of butter. Once foaming, fry the rinsed, dried sage leaves for 1 minute per side until crispy. (To make this easier, use tongs if you have them!) On completion, allow the crispy leaves to drain on some paper towel.
MAKE THE PAN SAUCE
Keeping the pan on the heat (with the remaining butter and oil), add the grated garlic. Fry for 30-60 seconds, until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the white wine and leave to reduce until almost all evaporated. Pour in the diluted stock and bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened slightly. Season with a squeeze of Lemon juice, salt and pepper. Add the cooked orzo, ½ the chopped parsley and ½ the rinsed spinach. Mix until fully combined.
FRESHNESS
In a salad bowl, toss the remaining spinach with some olive oil, a squeeze of Lemon juice and some seasoning.
