Мethod of preparation

Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and continue cooking until fragrant, roughly 1 minute more. Add the orzo, stirring to coat with the oil, and allow it to lightly toast, releasing its nutty aroma. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover with a lid, and let cook for around 10 minutes, or until the orzo is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat. Stir in the lemon zest and freshly squeezed lemon juice, mixing well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Gently fold in the dill and parsley, allowing the warmth of the orzo to soften the herbs and impart their flavor. For an optional crunch and depth of flavor, sprinkle toasted pine nuts over the top before serving. Serve the Lemon Dill Orzo Pilaf hot or at room temperature, making it an adaptable addition to any meal.
