- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Roughly chop the mushrooms.
- Halve the chilli lengthways. Deseed and finely chop.
- Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
- Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the garlic, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-6 mins.
- Add muscat, 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 and chopped chilli (use less if you don't like spice).
- Bring to the boil, cover and simmer until the orzo is softened, 15-20 mins. Stir every 3-4 mins to prevent sticking.
- Once cooked, stir through the creme fraiche and half the cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide your creamy cherry tomato orzo between bowls.
- Top with a scattering of the remaining parsley and grated cheese.
