Bacon Salt

Glass of Secret Red

This is a short post but a good one, or at least I think it is – hopefully you will be as delighted with this as I am.

I made something simply marvellous the other day!  Clearing out the fridge preparatory to filling it up again I found I had one single sad rasher of bacon left so I made …

Bacon Salt

1 rasher bacon

1 tsp crunchy sea salt

~   Preheat the oven to 375ºF/190ºC/170ºC fan/gas 5 or so.

~   Cook the bacon till it seems to have gone too far and looks yukky, like this …

~   Pat off any fat and let it cool and go hard.

~   Break into pieces and crush together with the salt in a pestle and mortar.

~   Store in a sealed jar in the fridge and sprinkle willy nilly on all sorts of things.

As mentioned above today I had it for lunch over brie and caramelised onion marmalade on nubbly toast comme ça …

Yesterday I sprinkled it on poached freshly laid eggs …

Tonight I plan on eating it with salmon.

I have never made this before but am so pleased with it; so much yumminess for so little effort and hardly any money, I shall certainly keep some by for the rest of my life!
