Instructions

Step 1
Place all bottom of pot ingredients, except courgettes, in the pot and stir to combine. Then place the courgettes on top of the pasta and season with salt and pepper.

Pull out the legs on the Cook && Crisp tray, then place the tray in the elevated position in the pot above the pasta and courgettes. 

Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine all tray ingredients. Using your hands, evenly portion the mixture into 12 meatballs, approx.  2 to 3 tablespoons each. Place the meatballs on the tray.  

Step 4
Close the lid and flip the SmartSwitch to RAPIDCOOK.  Select SPEEDI MEALS, set temperature to 180°C, and set time to 10 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin cooking (the unit will steam for approx. 10 to 15 minutes before countdown timer begins).  

Step 5
When cooking is complete, transfer the meatballs to a plate. Then use silicone-tipped tongs to grab the centre handle and remove the tray from the unit. Remove courgettes and stir orzo to combine. Serve orzo with meatballs, courgettes and tzatziki sauce.
