Misko Orzo (Kritharaki Large) · 500g

Shaped like a plump grain of wheat, Misko's large orzo is the pasta of childhood Sunday tables — the one that turns a simple pot of pork stew into giouvetsi, swelling up tender and saucy as it simmers alongside the meat.

It's just as much at home in lighter, modern dishes: tossed with shrimp, folded through caramelized onions and kefalotyri, or stirred into a creamy pumpkin-and-feta orzotto.

A true Greek pantry staple, made from durum wheat semolina and water, equally suited to baked casseroles, soups, or a quick weeknight risotto-style dish.
