brocolli and tomato orzo

Recipe by
John Goins

This dish is a classic Italian-style dish. If you always lean towards rice as a starch at dinner, try this. This classic combination of garlic, olive oil and tomatoes is always tasty. Try any herb you like in this, but the recipe calls for thyme. Dill and Parsley would be nice in here as well.
