Add a little pizazz to your Paleo breakfast by infusing bacon with the flavor of fresh herbs.
Ingredients:
Uncured bacon
Fresh rosemary (fresh thyme, oregano, or garlic would work well too)
Step 1: Procure your products
I found uncured bacon no-hormone, no-antibiotic all-natural bacon with nothing but sea salt, raw sugar and spices in it at Whole Foods. (Note: A 2 slice serving of this bacon contained 0 gms of sugar, so the amount of sugar added to the overall recipe is negligible). The rosemary came from my backyard herb garden.
Step 2: Pan-fry
Put the bacon and rosemary in a cold frying pan and turn to medium heat. Cover to keep flying bacon fat from covering your stove-top. Covering the pan also speeds up the cooking time.
Step 3: Flip it good
After 2-3 minutes, the bacon should be ready to flip. Don't worry about burning the rosemary as there should be enough bacon fat in the pan at this point.
Step 4: Don't forget to bring a paper towel
Remove the bacon and rosemary from the pan and place it on a paper towel.
Step 5: Eggs anyone?
Put all that good bacon fat to use by adding some scrambled eggs to the pan. While you're at it, go ahead and serve the whole thing over a bed of fresh greens.
Saw your post over at Modern Paleo. You know, I never thought to make my bacon taste like anything other than bacon. But I'll have to give this a go! I can smell it already. YUM!
ReplyDeleteGlad to provide some bacon-spiration Whitney! Let me know if you come up with some cool combinations!
ReplyDeleteI recently cured some bacon as part of a cooking class. On a whim, I added some rosemary to the "cure." Loved the combo. This is a much easier proposition
