Cooking steps

Get Prepped

1

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Halve the chilli lengthways, deseed and finely chop.
Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.

Soften the Veg

2

Place a pan over medium-high heat with a knob of butter and a drizzle of oil.
Once hot, add the onion, garlic, and bacon. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook bacon thoroughly.
Fry until browned, 5-7 mins.

Add the Orzo

3

Add the orzo, muscat and stock along with 400ml water (per 2P).
Bring to the boil, cover and simmer until the orzo is al dente, 15-20 mins.
Give it a stir every few mins to prevent sticking.

Stir in the Pesto

4

Once the orzo is cooked, add the creme fraiche, pesto, half the cheese and a knob of butter.
Stir until well incorporated.

Finishing Touches

5

Add the peas, half the chilli (use less if you don't like spice) and half the parsley.
Cook, stirring to warm through, 1 min.
Taste and season with salt and pepper.

TIP: Add a little water if you feel the orzo is too dry.

Garnish and Serve

6

Divide your pea and pesto orzo between bowls.
Garnish with remaining parsley, chilli and cheese.
