Slow-cooked British Soya in a rich tomato sauce, combined with oregano, star anise and orzo, a rice-shaped pasta.
Firepot says
Our vegan orzo bolognese is a twist on the classic Italian dish. Instead of beef mince, we use healthy soya; instead of spaghetti, we used orzo — tiny, rice-shaped pasta. To this we add a delicate balance of oregano and star anise, mixed in a traditional tomato sauce. This is a meal guaranteed to please the whole family, offering a real a taste of Italian comfort food when you’re far away from home.

STAFF'S TASTE TEST -
"Bursting with savoury flavours, this vegan orzo bolognese delivers a satisfying twist on the classic Italian dish. The tender orzo perfectly complements the hearty plant-based "meat", creating a comforting meal that even non-vegans will enjoy. The orzo was a good vehicle for the sauce, which rehydrated well." |
