  1. 1

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and cut potatoes into large evenly-sized chunks.

    Bring another medium pot with potato chunks covered by water to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, 14-18 minutes.

    Drain potatoes in a colander and return to pot. Set aside.

    While potatoes boil, coarsely chop spinach.

    Core tomatoes and coarsely chop.

  2. 2

    Start Orzo and Form Croquettes

    Once water (in pot without potatoes) is boiling, add orzo and cook until al dente, 4-5 minutes.

    Drain orzo in a wire-mesh strainer. Return to pot and stir in 1 tsp. olive oil. Cover and set aside.

    Add 1 Tbsp. roasted red pepper pesto (reserve remaining for aioli), Sriracha salt, and a pinch of pepper to pot with potatoes. Mash until smooth. Stir in 1/4 cup panko (reserve remaining for topping) until combined. Place remaining panko on a plate.

    Form potato-panko mixture into four evenly-sized balls. Flatten balls to form evenly-sized disks. Place disks on plate with panko and flip until completely coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Croquettes

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Carefully, add potato croquettes to hot pan and cook undisturbed until golden, 2-3 minutes per side.

    Transfer croquettes to a plate and season with a pinch of salt. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  4. 4

    Finish the Orzo

    Return pan used to cook croquettes to medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add tomatoes to hot pan and stir occasionally until tender, 2-3 minutes.

    Add 1/4 cup water, mirepoix base, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Stir constantly, 1 minute.

    Stir in orzo, half the garlic aioli (reserve remaining for pesto aioli), garlic pepper, and a pinch of salt and pepper until combined and smooth.

    Remove from burner.

  5. 5

    Make Roasted Red Pepper Aioli and Finish Dish

    In a mixing bowl, combine remaining garlic aioli, remaining roasted red pepper pesto, and 1 Tbsp. water until smooth.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping potato croquettes with aioli. Bon appétit!
