(Recipe from Easy Food magazine)
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 leek, trimmed, washed and chopped
- 2 carrots
- 1 celery stalk, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1.4l chicken stock
- 350 gr chicken thighs
- 100 gr orzo
- 150 gr spinach leaves, roughly chopped
- Handful of fresh dill, chopped
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Salt and pepper
Step One
Heat the oil in a large heavy pot over a medium heat. Add the leek, carrots and celery and cook for 6-8 min until softened. Add the garlic and cook for one minute longer.
Step Two
Add the stock and chicken thighs and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then turn the heat to low and cover with a lid. Simmer gently for 20-25 min until the chicken is completely cooked through.
Step Three
Transfer the chicken to a plate and allow to cool. Remove the skin and bones, then shred the chicken into bite sized pieces.
Step Four
Meanwhile, bring the broth back to a boil over a high heat. Add the orzo and cook for 8-10 min until just al dente.
Step Five
Turn the heat to low and return the chicken to the pot. Add the spinach and dill and simmer for 3-4 min until the spinach has wilted and the chicken is hot throughout.
Step Six
Squeeze in the lemon juice, season to taste and serve immediately.
Poftă Bună!!!
