A FOODIE has shared a super easy recipe that you whip up for just over £2.50 and it will fill a family of four.
The food lover has been sharing budget friendly dinners that you can easily whip up for less than £1 per person.
Daisy shared her budget friendly recipe in a TikTok video online.
She said: “Tomato Orzo for 63p per portion! Just £2.52 in total for a family of four!”
You will only need a handful of ingredients for this recipe.
Daisy said: “ To make this recipe for four people, you wanna saute a couple of onions with some garlic.”
“Then add in 350 grams of orzo, a tin of tomatoes and whatever seasoning you’ve got.
Daisy said she added some basic seasonings but feel free to add some spice if you like.
She said: “I went for some paprika, mixed herbs, salt and pepper.
Next Daisy adds stock.
She said: “Cook that for a couple of minutes before slowly adding in about a litre of vegetable stock.”
Keep testing your orzo to check that it is fully cooked.

“You can add more if you think it needs it, but just cook it through until all of the orzo is cooked.
The final ingredient tops off the dish.
Daisy said: “Then finally, you can stir through some hard Italian cheese and you’re done.”
The best thing about this dish is you can make easy swaps to suit your needs.
Swap veg stock for chicken stock, orzo for arborio rice and even use up other leftover cheeses.
The foodies video racked up over 1.1 million views online.
People made their own suggestions in the comments for small changes to boost the easy dish.
One user said: “A can of butter beans would go well too. Not that expensive and would add protein.”
Another said: “I got all the ingredients so it has to be a sign looks bomb.”
“Yummy!! I do this with sautéed aubergine and I add spinach. (Not as cheap I know but just sharing ideas),” suggested a third.
