Ingredients (9)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 rindless bacon rashers, cut into strips
  • 6 mushrooms, sliced
  • 250g pouch quick cooking rice

  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan, plus extra shaved to serve
  • 1 tablespoon light sour cream (optional)
  • Chopped flat-leaf parsley, to garnish

    Add the chopped onion, bacon strips and sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 4 minutes or until the onion has softened.
