Baked chorizo orzo with white fish

This stylish baked chorizo and white fish orzo makes a great midweek meal or simple dinner party dish. An easy one-pot meal, the tender white fish cooks on top of a rich orzo stew filled with peppers, spinach and spicy chorizo.

1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. 
2. Heat the oil in a shallow ovenproof casserole dish over a high heat. Add the chorizo, onion, garlic and peppers and fry for 5 mins until the chorizo is starting to crisp. 
3. Place the spinach in a sieve and squeeze out the excess liquid. 
4. Add half the parsley, the orzo, tinned tomato, spinach and 800ml boiling water to the pan and stir to combine. Bring to the boil and simmer for 3 mins, stirring occasionally.
5. Top the orzo with the fillets of fish so they are slightly covered and bake in the oven for 20-25 mins until the fish is cooked throughout. 
6. Serve topped with the remaining parsley.
