Notes From the Method

Chop the broccoli small so it cooks in the same time as the rice.

Add the cheese off the heat so it melts without turning oily.

If the rice is firm after 15 minutes, add a splash of water and cover for 5.

Changing the Recipe

• An eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder per clove is the usual stand-in when you are out of fresh garlic — it will not caramelise the same way, but it carries the flavour.

Storing and Reheating

Cool quickly and keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat until steaming throughout.
