Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Boil a kettle
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Peel and finely chop your shallot[s]
Drain and rinse your butter beans
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the chopped shallot and half the chopped garlic (you'll use the rest later!) with a pinch of salt and cook for 3-4 min or until beginning to soften
Meanwhile, dissolve your vegetable stock mix in 500ml [750ml] [1L] boiled water
Once the shallot has softened, add your cracked black pepper and orzo to the pan and cook for 1 min, stirring to coat the orzo in the oil
Add the vegetable stock to the pan and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, covered, for 12-15 min or until cooked through
Tip: Stir the orzo occasionally to stop it from sticking
Heat a separate large, dry, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a medium heat
Once hot, add your pine nuts and cook for 2-3 min or until toasted and lightly golden
Tip: Watch them like a hawk to make sure they don't burn!
Once toasted, transfer to a plate and reserve the pan
Chop your Tenderstem broccoli in half
Zest half your lemon[s] (try to grate lightly with a micro-plane or sharp box grater and avoid grating the white pith, as this is very bitter)
Cut your lemon[s] into 1 slice per person
Return the reserved pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil
Once hot, add the halved broccoli to the pan with a pinch of salt and cook for 6-7 min or until tender with a slight bite
Once tender, add the remaining chopped garlic and lemon zest to the pan and cook for 1-2 min further or until fragrant – this is your garlic & lemon broccoli
Once the orzo is cooked through, add the drained butter beans with your soft cheese, most of your grated Italian hard cheese (save some for garnish!) and a pinch of salt
Give everything a good mix up and cook for 1-2 min or until the cheese has melted – this is your butter bean & orzo cacio e pepe
Serve the butter bean & orzo cacio e pepe with the garlic & lemon broccoli to the side
Garnish with a lemon slice and top the orzo with the toasted pine nuts, remaining grated Italian hard cheese and a generous grind of black pepper
Enjoy!
