Place bacon in large pot and fry over low flame until browned. Add onions and cook until they are limp. Pour in water, add garlic and seasonings, and bring to boil. Drain peas and add to boiling mixture. Lower flame, cover pot and let simmer very gently 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours. Add rice and cook a final 30 to 40 minutes until peas and rice are tender and liquid has reduced to a savory thick sauce. Makes 6-8 servings.
