Ingredients

4 heads broccoli, stalks removed, cut into medium florets
3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
Olive oil
1/4 cup white wine
10 cups chicken broth
1 tsp. herbes de Provence
1 1/2 cups uncooked orzo
200 g feta cheese, crumbled

Preparation

Place broccoli and garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat, drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes. Add more oil if necessary.
Deglaze with white wine and stir.
Add chicken stock, herbes de Provence, season with salt and pepper, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
Using a potato masher, mash about ten times to break up the broccoli while maintaining some texture.
Add the orzo, stir and cover. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes until pasta is al dente, following package instructions.
Remove from heat, add feta cheese and toss. Serve with a good baguette and your favorite margarine! 😂

To help you make this recipe

Our sommeliers suggest

Christophe Pacalet Beaujolais blanc 2021

Beaujolais, France

Produced by Les Marcellins, this white Beaujolais is a superb wine expressing roundness, freshness and balanced acidity. It marries well with the creaminess of the dish, expressing lemony, herbaceous notes that complement the bitterness of the broccoli. See the product

West Coast Lager, 6%

Le Castor

A low-fermentation beer with West Coast hops, this lager offers cereal, vegetable and citrus aromas. Very dry, it leaves plenty of room for the creaminess of the recipe, while its lemony aromas support the vegetal notes of broccoli. It's possible to eat healthily and enjoy yourself at the same time!
