Cooking instruction summary:

Heat the oven to 200C (Gas Mark 6 / 400F). Place the whole peppers on a baking tray, and roast for around 30 minutes, until soft and slightly charred. Remove from the oven, and place on a plate. Cover with cling film.Meanwhile, heat the oil in a saucepan and cook the onion and garlic over a medium-low heat for 10 minutes, until soft and translucent. Set aside until needed.When the peppers are cool enough to handle, remove them from under the clingfilm, and remove the stalk, seeds and skins (they should peel off easily). Chop the flesh into small pieces, and add to the onion and garlic. Return the pan to a medium heat, and mix well to break down the pepper a little. Add the stock and tomato pure, and season well with black pepper. Bring to a simmer, and add the orzo. Simmer gently for around 10 minutes, stirring regularly to ensure the orzo doesn't settle and catch on the bottom of the pan.When the orzo is nearly cooked, add the spinach and parsley. Cook for a further couple of minutes, and then serve, topped with grated cheese if desired.

Food Joke

Upon arriving home, a husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife. Tearfully she explained, "It's the druggist. He insulted me terribly this morning on the phone." Immediately the husband drove downtown to confront the druggist and demand an apology. Before he could say more than a few words, the druggist told him, "Now, just a minute, please listen to my side of it... This morning the alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up. I went without breakfast and hurried out to the car, just to realize that I locked the house with both house and car keys inside. I had to break a window to get my keys. Then, driving a little too fast, I got a speeding ticket. Later, about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tire. When I got to the store there was a bunch of people waiting for me to open up. I opened and started waiting on these people, and all the time the darn phone was ringing off the hook." He continued, "Then I had to break a roll of nickels against the cash register drawer to make change, and they spilled all over the floor. I got down on my hands and knees to pick up the nickels; the phone was still ringing. When I came up I cracked my head on the open cash drawer, which made me stagger back against a showcase with bunch of perfume bottles on it...all of them hit the floor and broke. Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no let up, and I finally got to answer it. It was your wife. She wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer...and, honest mister, all I did was tell her!"
