🍽️ Serves: 4

⏱️ Prep Time: 15 minutes

🔥 Cook Time: 30 minutes

🛒 Ingredients

• 500g Leaning Tower Pork, Chilli & Ale Sausages

• 1 cup orzo

• ½ Spanish onion, diced

• 2 cloves garlic, diced

• 500ml beef stock 

• 250ml pouring cream

• 50g grated parmesan

• 1 tin cannellini beans, drained

• 2 handfuls baby spinach

• 1 handful chopped parsley

• Fresh chilli, squeeze of lemon & chopped parsley, to serve

👨🍳 Method

1. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add sausages and cook until browned, breaking them up roughly as they cook.

2. Add onion and garlic, sautéing until softened.

3. Stir in the orzo and toast it lightly for 1–2 minutes.

4. Pour in the beef stock and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender and most of the liquid has absorbed.

5. Stir in the cream and let it thicken slightly until the sauce is luscious and creamy.

6. Add the parmesan, cannellini beans, and spinach. Stir gently until everything is warmed through and the spinach is wilted.

7. Serve garnished with a little chopped parsley, a fresh squeeze of lemon, and fresh chilli for that kick.
