Method

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large sauté pan or pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened.

Step 2

Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

Step 3

Add the orzo and stir for about a minute to lightly toast it.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken stock, little by little. Bring to a gentle simmer. Add in the milk.

Step 5

Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring regularly so the orzo doesn't stick.

Step 6

Stir in the broccoli and continue cooking for another 5–6 minutes until the broccoli is tender and the orzo is creamy. If it becomes too thick, add a splash more stock or milk.

Step 7

Gently fold through the flaked Aoraki Original Hot Smoked Salmon and plenty of black pepper. Cook for just 1–2 minutes to warm the salmon through.

Step 8

Taste and season if needed. Finish with some Parmesan if using.
