The method

1

To make the meatballs, break up the soaked bread into a mixing bowl, then add in the mince, egg yolk, parsley, crushed garlic and parmesan. Season well and mix until combined.

2

Roll the mixture into 24 marble-sized balls and fry the meatballs all over in a large non-stick pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Scoop onto a plate once cooked through.

3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the same pan. Fry the onion, with a good pinch of salt, for 5-10 minutes or until golden brown.

4

Stir in the garlic and chilli, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the stock, spring greens, orzo and meatballs, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the orzo and greens are cooked. Sprinkle over the parmesan to serve. Enjoy!
