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.
