COOK THE ORZO
Boil the kettle. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the orzo. Cook the orzo until al dente, 7-10 minutes. Drain and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
Beef SCHNITZEL
While the orzo is on the go, pat the Beef schnitzel dry with paper towel and season. Place the spiced flour (lightly seasoned) in a shallow dish. Coat the schnitzel in the spiced flour, dusting off any excess. Place a pan (large enough for the orzo) over medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the schnitzel until cooked through and golden, 1-2 minutes per side. Add a knob of butter, and a squeeze of Lemon juice and fry until crispy, 1-2 minutes. Remove the schnitzel from the pan (reserving the butter and oil in the pan), cover, and rest the schnitzel for 3-5 minutes before slicing.
GARLICKY SAUCE
Keeping the pan on the heat (with any remaining butter and oil), add the grated Garlic. Fry until fragrant, 30-60 seconds (shifting constantly). Add the white wine and leave to reduce until almost all evaporated. Pour in 80ml of boiling water and bring to a simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and seasoning. Add the cooked orzo, and ½ the chopped Parsley. Mix until fully combined.
SIMPLE SALAD
In a salad bowl, toss the rinsed green leaves and halved baby tomatoes with olive oil, a squeeze of Lemon juice and seasoning.
ZINGY DINNER IS SERVED
