Orzotto with pancetta & peas image

Provided by Dani Mosley

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Pasta, Supper

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

150g diced pancetta
1 red onion , finely chopped
4 garlic cloves , crushed
500g orzo
1.5 litres chicken stock
500g frozen petit pois or peas
½ lemon , zested and juiced
small bunch basil , leaves picked and shredded
75g parmesan , grated, plus extra to serve

Steps:

  • Put the pancetta in a large, deep frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry until crisp and golden. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate and set aside. Reduce the heat, add the onion along with a pinch of salt and fry in any leftover fat for 5 mins. Add the garlic and continue to fry for a further 3 mins.
  • Increase the heat and stir in the orzo. Fry for 2 mins, stirring constantly, then pour in 500ml stock and bring to a simmer. Add more stock by the ladleful, stirring constantly, as the orzo absorbs the liquid (similar to cooking a risotto).
  • After 5 mins, stir in the petit pois and bring the mixture to a simmer. Continue to add the remaining stock, stirring, as the mixture cooks. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the orzo is cooked through. Add the lemon zest and juice, basil, parmesan and fried pancetta. Season to taste, then cover and leave to rest for 2 mins. Serve with extra parmesan sprinkled over the top.

Tips for Making Braised Peas with Pancetta and Onions:

  • Use fresh peas. Fresh peas have a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture than frozen or canned peas. If you can't find fresh peas, frozen peas are a good substitute.
  • Cook the pancetta until it is crispy. Crispy pancetta adds a nice smoky flavor and texture to the dish. If you don't like pancetta, you can substitute bacon or ham.
  • Use a good quality onion. A sweet onion, such as a Vidalia onion, will add a nice sweetness to the dish. If you don't have a sweet onion, you can use a yellow onion or a white onion.
  • Don't overcook the peas. Peas should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
  • Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little bit of heat.

Conclusion:

Braised peas with pancetta and onions is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great side dish for roasted chicken or fish.
