Step 1

First make the piri piri sauce. Mix all the ingredients together in a medium bowl (add less of the piri piri seasoning at first if you don't like too much heat). Put half the sauce into a saute pan with the orzo and water. Mix together and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the tofu into 2.5cm cubes and add to the bowl with the remaining piri piri sauce. Sprinkle a good pinch of salt, then very gently stir together so the tofu is coated. Set aside.

Step 3

Place the pan with the orzo and water on a medium-high heat. Cook for 8-9 minutes, stirring continuously until most of the water has been absorbed and the orzo is al dente. Remove from the heat.

Step 4

Flatten the surface of the orzo. Spoon the tofu and sauce evenly over the cooked orzo. Mix the spinach with the 3/4 tablespoon of oil and a good pinch of fine salt, then arrange over the top.

Step 5

Cover the pan with a lid and return to a medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, then remove the lid and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the liquid that was produced when steaming the spinach has been reabsorbed, and the bottom of the orzo is crispy. Leave to cool for 5 minutes.
