Ingredients:

(Serves 4)

  • 250g Fourme d'Ambert
  • 2 x Leeks - sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Creme Fraiche
  • 250g Orzo
  • 500ml Stock (Chicken, or Vegetable)
  • 100g baby spinach
  • Prosciutto (optional)
  • 25g Butter
  • Salt & Pepper

Instructions

  • Lay the Prosciutto onto a baking tray and pop it in a 200-degree C fan oven for 20 minutes (or until crisp).
  • Melt the butter and add your sliced leeks, sauté on medium/low heat with a pinch of salt until soft. (This should take around 10 mins)
  • Once the leeks have softened, add your orzo to the pan and stir through the leeks.
  • Add the stock and simmer on medium heat for 10 - 12 minutes (or until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the orzo), stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Add your spinach to the pan and stir through until wilted.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of creme fraiche, and 150g of the blue cheese (crumbled) and gently stir through.
  • Season to taste with salt, and a good grinding of black pepper.
  • Serve, and top with crumbled blue cheese and the (optional) prosciutto crisps.
