Recipes so Easy, Even a Caveman Could Make Them: Rosemary's Bacon

 

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.
