Tomato Orzo with Meatballs

Orzo pasta is a staple in my kitchen, it makes for simple, cosy one-pot dishes. I’ve enhanced the flavour of my tomato orzo with Kallo’s Organic Beef Stock which adds an extra layer of flavour & depth. Serve the orzo on it’s own or top it off with my famous carrot & apple meatballs to up the protein & nutrition for your family.
