Tomato & Bacon Orzo Recipe

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large frying pan (skillet) over a medium-high heat.

Add the bacon, and fry for 5-6 minutes, until crispy. Remove from the pan, leaving the oil behind. Turn the heat down to low.

Add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds, then add the tinned tomatoes, stock, orzo, tomato puree, salt and pepper.

Stir together and bring to the boil. Turn down to a simmer, place a lid on and cook for 12-14 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is cooked through.

While the orzo is cooking, chop the bacon into small pieces.

When the orzo is cooked, remove the lid and stir through the spinach, sun-blushed tomatoes and cooked bacon.

Sprinkle the crumbled cheddar on top and serve.
