1/2 c. chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced

1 1/2 c. quick cooking long grain rice
1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen peas, thawed
1/2 c. shredded carrots
1/2 tsp. saffron threads

Saute onion and garlic in butter until tender, stirring frequently. In 2 quart saucepan, bring water to boil. Add all ingredients, except bacon. Cover and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Top with crumbled bacon. This is very good.
