Chorizo and orzo make a healthy, filling summer stew that's perfect for when you're trying to lose weight. This diet meal is flavorful and simple to prepare. Simply fry up some chorizo and veggies, add in the orzo and cook until tender.
Add sweetcorn to my stew for some extra sweetness and color. You can use any leftover veggies in the fridge, which is a great way to reduce food waste. For a complete dish, serve with a green salad and crusty bread. Enjoy!
