Instructions
  1. In a medium sized, heavy based pot, sauté the bacon for a couple of minutes in a dash of olive oil. Add the garlic and stir for one minute. Now the mushrooms (if you are using mushrooms) and stir for a minute or two.
  2. Add the frozen peas stirring for another minute and lastly add the orzo. Continue to stir for a couple of minutes until combined and the orzo glistens.
  3. Pour in the hot water and simmer on a very low heat with the lid on for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat. There will still be a little liquid, but don’t continue to cook. Leave the lid on the pot for a minute without stirring. The pasta will continue to absorb the liquid.
  4. Mix through a knob of butter and a good twist or two of cracked pepper.
