- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

- Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
- Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

- Add stock, 400ml water, ½ tsp sugar, ½ tsp salt and 1 tbsp butter (double all for 4p) to the pot.
- Stir in half the parsley along with the orzo, tomato paste, and chopped chilli (use less if you don't like spice).
