Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Mix @orzo{200%g} with @vegetable stock{400%ml} in a deep #roasting tin{} and lay the @cherry tomatoes on the vine{400%g}(halved) over the top. (The tomato flavour will infuse into the stock.)

Arrange the cherry tomatoes in an even layer over the orzo, then scatter with @red onion{0.5}(very finely chopped), @bay leaves{2}, plenty of @ground black pepper{}, and @sea salt{1%tsp}.

Transfer to the oven and cook, uncovered, for ~{20%minutes}. As soon as the orzo is cooked (the pasta should be just al dente), remove the vines and stir through @extra virgin olive oil{2%tbsp}, another teaspoon of @sea salt{}, and a good handful of @basil{}(chopped) or @flat-leaf parsley{}(chopped).

Taste and season with more salt and pepper as needed, and add a little dash more stock if you like. Serve immediately.
