Instructions

Process

  1. Prep:
    1. Cook the beans until they’re mashable. Reserve at least 200ml bean cooking liquid

  2. Broccoli-bean puree
    1. Blend the set-aside third of broccoli with the stock and some bean cooking liquid; blend until smooth and loose
  3. Base
    1. Heat the oil over medium-low
    2. Add the garlic, minced anchovy, chilli flakes. Cook gently 30-45 seconds until fragrant - no browning
    3. Add the orzo, stir to coat
    4. Add the stock; simmer, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is al dente and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
    5. Stir in the beans, broccoli, broccoli puree
    6. Loosen with bean cooking liquid as needed - it should be creamy and cohesive, not soupy
    7. Remove from heat
  4. Finish
    1. Stir in the lemon, butter, cheese, dill, rest except for parsley
    2. Spoon into bowls and top with parsley
