Grilled Broccoli & Orzo
Pine nuts can be pricey, but they're so delicious and a little goes a long way. They get the biggest bang when toasted (just pop in a 375 degrees F oven for 5 minutes until golden). Because of their high oil content, store them in the fridge to keep them from going rancid.

- Meanwhile, cook orzo in a large pot of lightly salted boiling water 7 minutes or until al dente; drain. Transfer to a serving bowl.
- In a small skillet heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over low heat. Add garlic; cook 1 minute or until fragrant. Stir in orange juice and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir into orzo.
