Steps
- Step 1
Place the sausages on a grill tray and place under the grill (broiler) for 20 minutes, turning regularly, until browned all over and cooked through. Alternatively, If you have an air fryer, they can be air fried for 10-12 minutes at 200C/400F.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan (skillet) over a medium heat. Add in the onion, red and green peppers. Cook for 4-5minutes, stirring regularly, until the onion starts to soften.
- Step 3
Add the garlic, chilli powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper and tomato puree to the pan and stir together for one minute.
- Step 4
Add the tinned tomatoes and chicken stock, stir and bring to the boil, then add in the orzo.
- Step 5
Stir together, then add the olives, capers and cherry tomatoes.
- Step 6
Turn down the heat, so the liquid is simmering very gently, place a lid on and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is cooked.
- Step 7
By now, the sausages should be cooked. Place the sausages on a chopped board and cut into thick slices.
- Step 8
Remove the lid from the pan, then stir in the sliced sausages and rocket – it should wilt a little as you stir it in.
- Step 9
Divide between bowls and serve.
