Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the onions, garlic, peppers, olives and thyme in a large roasting tin, drizzle over the oil, season and toss together to coat. Roast for 15-20 mins until the onions and peppers are tender.
Remove the tin from the oven, discard the thyme sprigs, then pour in the wine and chopped tomatoes. Add the fish, tucking the pieces into the sauce. Add the orzo, spreading it evenly over the fish, and pour over the stock. Give everything a gentle stir.
Bake for 40-45 mins, uncovered, stirring gently after 20 mins, until the orzo is cooked and has soaked up most of the stock. Remove from the oven and leave to stand for 10 mins so the orzo can soak up the rest of the stock. Stir gently, then season to taste. Squeeze over a little lemon juice, then top with the lemon wedges and parsley to serve.

Tip: To reheat, cover loosely with foil and bake at gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C fan for 30 mins or reheat individual portions in a microwave on high for 3-4 mins.
