About Orzo with broccoli

Orzo with Broccoli is a nutritious and versatile dish originating from Mediterranean cuisine. It features tender orzo pasta, resembling rice in texture, combined with steamed or sautéed broccoli florets. Olive oil, garlic, and lemon are often incorporated, adding vibrant flavors and healthy fats. This dish can be customized with additional ingredients like Parmesan cheese, toasted pine nuts, or protein sources such as grilled chicken or chickpeas. Packed with fiber, vitamins C and K, and antioxidants, the broccoli provides numerous health benefits, including support for digestion and immune function. While orzo contributes energy from carbohydrates, its refined nature means it’s best enjoyed in moderation. By balancing pasta with nutrient-dense broccoli and heart-healthy olive oil, this dish offers a satisfying yet wholesome meal suitable for various dietary preferences.
