Add the garlic and cherry tomatoes, and cook for ⏱️ 2 minutes, before pouring in the orzo, stock, tinned tomatoes and coconut milk. Gently break the plum tomatoes up with the back of a wooden spoon, then bring the mixture to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15–⏱️ 17 minutes. The orzo should be cooked and the dish should feel deliciously creamy with any excess liquid absorbed.
