This is an easy orzo recipe with lots of tomatoes, zucchini and chickpeas. Garlic and mint leaves infuse earthiness and fresh flavor. A nutty addition of pine nuts takes it to a new level. It’s delicious and comes together quickly! This is a prized recipe from my personal blog, The Mediterranean Dish!
