Ingredients
- ½ onion
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic flakes
- 250g lean beef mince
- 2 tbsp Ina Paarman beef stock powder
- 2 cups water
- 15ml balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp soy sauce

- 200g tomato passata
- 120g orzo pasta
- 150g cocktail or cherry tomatoes

Method
- To start, dice the onion finely. In a wide-bottom dish, heat the olive oil, then add the onions and sauté until they are translucent.
- Add the mince and cook until browned. Once browned, add the garlic flakes.
- Deglaze the pan with ½ cup of water, scraping off crispy bits. Then, add the beef stock concentrate to the pan.
- Once the mince is fully browned, add the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and oregano. Then add the tomato passata and orzo.
- Add the remaining 1.5 cups of water. Cover and reduce heat to simmer for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.
- Roast the cherry tomatoes in an air fryer or oven until the skin is just blistered.
- Serve the orzo bolognese topped with grated parmesan and roasted cherry tomatoes. Enjoy, chef!
