About Orzo with chickpeas and vegetables

Orzo with Chickpeas and Vegetables is a wholesome dish inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, featuring small pasta shaped like rice, protein-packed chickpeas, and a colorful array of sautéed vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Often seasoned with garlic, olive oil, and fresh herbs such as parsley or basil, it delivers vibrant flavors and satisfying texture. This dish offers nutritional benefits, including fiber from chickpeas, vitamins from the vegetables, and heart-healthy fats from olive oil. Orzo provides a good source of energy but, as it is a refined carbohydrate, moderation is key for a balanced diet. To enhance its health profile, whole-grain orzo can be substituted for the regular version. Perfect as a main or side dish, this recipe combines taste and nutrition in a simple, one-pot meal suitable for a variety of diets.
