The CookingBites recipe challenge: bacon

[TastyReuben]

I have some. Its been sitting in my fridge for a very long time (over a year). I bought it on-line. I suppose this could be the time to use it.

I can get it here, but I have to go looking for it. It’s not at the corner store.

You should. When it renders, it turns translucent and becomes kind of like very tasty, peppery pork cracklings.

I actually googled this morning. Found several places that supposedly sell it that are fairly close now. I hadn't looked in quite a while.

For some reason I've stalled on using it. I'm really not sure what to make...

It’s having its moment, I suppose. I know on those rare occasions I’m flipping through the various cooking channels, it comes up occasionally.

Carbonara. Flat bread or pizza like I mentioned recently brushed with garlic oil, sweated leeks, pecorino Romano, very thinly sliced guanciale (I have used porchetta last few times), baked in very hot oven or grill so the meat crisps, then pulled out and raw egg(s) put on top, yolk broke and pizza tilted to allow egg to spread. Those are my go tos most often.

We all love the foody glamour shots, but sometimes, the subject itself is so beautiful that even sat draining on the humble paper towel, it shines:

Oh for sure SatNavSaysStraightOn !!!
I'd never heard of bacon made with Eggplant, but I look forward to that.

I've seen it made with bananas! I think SatNavSaysStraightOn mentioned it before and perhaps made it?

Something I made for a previous challenge:

I'd like that with honey instead of the maple, mmmmmm! But I would have to tone down the honey and make it more sriracha forward.

Me neither, hence why I was making the dish. I love aubergine now I'm over my childhood phobia of my ex-step father cooking/killing them! Lol

So your ex-step-father was a horrible cook and ruined good old eggplant?

He found kill most things almost as well as his mother did every Sunday.

He also replastered the ceiling with rice via the pressure cooker amongst many other disasters.

He took the little weight thingy off before the contents cooled, didn't he. My parents did the same thing the first and last time they used a pressure cooker. They painted the ceiling with some kind of soup.

I've honestly no idea. I was 7 or 8 at the time. I just remember rice drying out and dropping off the ceiling for days...

He could successfully kill anything even simple things like boiling water, don't try boiling an egg... so aubergine never ever stood a chance. Sadly he actually thought he was a good cook.

I dont like maple flavor...my culinary heaven is much different than yours. But maybe you could try it on cooked carrots, lol.
