dill and pecorino in a bowl. Season then form into small meatballs (you’ll make
about 40).

2. Cook the meatballs in a non-stick pan with a little olive oil until
golden brown and cooked through (if you cook them in batches keep the cooked
ones in a low oven). Meanwhile, cook the orzo then toss with some olive oil,
the lemon juice and season. Mix the dressing ingredients and season. Put the
orzo on a serving dish, add the meatballs, drizzle with the dressing then
scatter with rocket.
