Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the rice and orzo, and stir to coat. Cook, stirring often, until the orzo turns golden brown, and the rice turns translucent.

Step 2

Pour the broth in, bring to a boil, turn heat to low, and cover. Cook, covered, for 10 - 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Add the broccoli and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

Step 3

Remove from the heat and add the butter, cheddar, salt, and pepper. Stir until well incorporated. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
