Kritharaki (orzo pasta) is briefly toasted in the air fryer for a nutty aroma, then simmered in tomato sauce until tender. Made without any dairy or cheese, this recipe is a diabetes-friendly Greek-style pasta pilaf that packs well in a lunchbox.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Toast the Kritharaki

5 min

Spread the kritharaki in the air fryer basket and toast lightly at 180°C for 5 minutes. If you do not have an air fryer, toast it on a tray in an oven preheated to 180°C for 8 minutes.

2

Cook the Vegetables

10 min

Cook the onion and garlic cloves in olive oil until soft, add the tomato and cook for 5 more minutes.

3

Cook the Pilaf

15 min

Add the toasted kritharaki, hot water, salt and black pepper, then simmer over low heat for 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.

Reminder

Stir the kritharaki often while toasting; it can brown quickly in the air fryer and burn. Allergens: contains gluten (kritharaki pasta).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If kritharaki is unavailable, small vermicelli works instead, shortening the cooking time by 2-3 minutes.
