GREEK ORZO AND BROCCOLI RECIPE - GREEK.FOOD.COM

The warm side dish delivers strong feta and olive flavors while red pepper flakes add a little spice. Sometimes I add some diced red bell pepper to add color, but I really prefer it without the red bell pepper. The original idea for this recipe came from a recipe on AllRecipes, but I've added some things and made others optional.

BROCCOLI-LEMON ORZOTTO | LEMONS + ANCHOVIES

Stir in the lemon juice, add the remaining liquid (or you can hold back the last 1/8 cup if your orzo pasta is small) and the chopped broccoli. Bring to a boil then lower to simmer, cover and cook for six to ten minutes. The cook time will depend on the size of your orzo. To be safe, check for doneness at six minutes. The orzo should be al dente or just past this stage in order for it to be ready. If yours is under cooked and needs more liquid, add the remaining liquid if you held it back. If it's just slightly undercooked but has ample liquid, just cover and simmer for a few more minutes. Even when it's done the orzotto may look watery but this excess liquid will be absorbed eventually. Stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano and if you'd like a creamier and more lemony dish, feel free to add more butter and lemon. Same for the cheese. Serve on its own or with your protein of choice.
