A delightful and easy-to-make dish combining the nutty flavor of orzo with the freshness of broccoli.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Using both olive oil and butter adds a depth of flavor to the dish.
Add the orzo and toast it lightly, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes.
Toasting the orzo enhances its nutty flavor and prevents it from becoming mushy.
Stir in the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
Ensure the onion is finely chopped for even cooking and better integration into the dish.
Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
Use warm broth to maintain the cooking temperature and speed up the process.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stirring occasionally prevents the orzo from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Add the broccoli and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until tender.
Cut the broccoli into small florets for quicker cooking and better distribution.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve warm.
Taste the dish before serving to adjust the seasoning as needed.
