Kirstin: We are HUGE fans of orzo AND harissa! There’s a Melissa Clark roast chicken with orzo recipe that my family would be happy if I made every single week. And we continue to make this Gwyneth Paltrow chicken recipe featuring harissa on a regular basis. So being orzo and harissa curious I was intrigued to find this recipe featuring them both, combo attack style. With bonus sausage. Mob 6’s introduction to the recipe claims that this will be your “new post-pub go-to when you want something jam-packed with flavour but don’t have much to work with”. Sign me up, but more of a weekday dinner situation rather than the pub. I love all the ways that Mob 6 spice things up in their recipes with their use of nduja, gochujang and in this dish, harissa. The trick to this particular recipe is to take your time browning the sausages. This worked out fine for me as I found the orzo-cooked-as-risotto took a lot longer than the recipe indicated. The final fragrant dish also featured bonus crumbled feta cheese to compliment the harissa. If you too are into harissa then you may enjoy investigating the Mob 6 collection of adjacent recipes with all the harissa content. You orzo give it a go – harissa reason we love these recipes so much.
