Risoni, also known as Orzo pasta, is an ideal accompaniment to any meal. Easy-to-make and providing a satisfying crunch and zesty taste sensation, it's designed to impress with its bright colours and fresh flavours, making it perfect for any occasion. Expect about 500g of cooked pasta from 200g of uncooked risoni to serve 6-8 side dishes. Pair it with our Juicy Mediterranean Chicken recipe, available here.
