Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Put the cheese and broccoli on a large baking tray and drizzle with the oil, lemon zest, coriander and cumin seeds and chillies. Bake for 20 mins, adding the chorizo for the last 5 mins.
- Meanwhile, bring a pan of water to the boil, add the orzo and cook for 8-10 mins until tender. Drain, run under cold water to cool slightly, drain again, then toss with the parsley, spinach and mint.
- Transfer the orzo mix to a platter, toss with the broccoli and chorizo and top with the whole cheese. Finish with a squeeze of lemon to serve.
- Tip: Add delicious depth to this simple pasta salad with Tesco Finest Spanish chorizo, traditionally dry-cured for rich smokiness.
