  1. Heat the oil in a large, lidded saucepan, add the onion and garlic, then cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally for 5 mins, until softened. Add the fennel and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins. Cover with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, for a further 15 mins.
  2. Add the orzo, cook over a medium heat, stirring for 1 min. Add 1ltr of the stock, increase the heat until the liquid starts to simmer. Allow to bubble gently, stirring frequently, for 3 mins. Add the remaining stock and the green beans, return to a gentle simmer; cook, stirring frequently, for 3 mins. Add the prawns and cook, stirring, for a further 3-5 mins until cooked through. Remove from the heat and stir through the pecorino. Season with black pepper, then scatter over the reserved fennel fronds to serve.
