Greek Orzo and Broccoli image

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.

I made this for dinner last night and it was a big hit with my family. The orzo was cooked perfectly and the broccoli was still slightly crunchy. The lemon-tahini sauce was the perfect finishing touch.
