Roasted Cherry Tomato & Basil Orzo

This is great for little ones that are starting their weaning journey. It's soft, it's quick to make and only needs a few ingredients but it is still packed with flavour. Just season the adults food once the babies portion has been taken out.

Ingredients;

1 tsp olive oil

1 onion, diced

1 garlic clove, chopped

200g orzo

20 cherry tomatoes, halved

200ml low salt vegetable stock, using one stock cube

1/4 tsp chilli flakes (optional)

Handful of fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

Method

• Pre-heat the oven at 180 degrees.
• Coat the cherry tomatoes in the oil and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, boil the orzo as per the packet instructions, usually around 8 minutes.
• Whilst that is boiling fry your onion and garlic for a few minutes until soft, add the chilli flakes and cook for a few minutes more.
• Add your stock and gently simmer over a medium heat and keep stirring. 
• Once the orzo is cooked add it to the mixture.
• Once the tomatoes are cooked add these to the mixture too and give it a good stir.
• Dish up the orzo and add the chopped basil on top to serve.

Suitable for babies from six months. Ensure cherry tomatoes are halved again (so quartered) before giving to your baby.
