Cooking Steps

Finely chop onion and garlic. Thinly slice courgette and carrot into half-moons.

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook diced bacon, breaking it up with a spoon, until golden, 4-5 minutes. Add onion, courgette, carrot and the butter and cook, stirring, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Add jasmine rice to the pan and stir to coat. Add the warm water and bring to the boil. Cover with a lid (or foil), reduce the heat to low, then simmer until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed, 16-20 minutes. Season with pepper.
