Brocolli And Tomato Orzo
"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. Enjoy it with family. Try any herb you like in this, but the recipe calls for thyme. Dill and Parsley would be nice in here as well. As for wines, here are our suggestions for pairings *An oaked Chardonnay *Sémillon *Sauvignon Blanc *Riesling *Vouvray *Albarino"
