Bacon – A Cooks Best Friend
Being a cook of over 20 years I can honestly say, I love bacon! It is one of the most versatile and tasty additions too many of my recipes and can easily add a salty, smoky appeal to many dishes. I have always used in throughout my cooking to add texture and flavor.
There once was a time when bacon was, well, bacon. Smoked, cured and ready to be fried for breakfast. These days, bacon is available in many different varieties including maple smoked, peppered, and even spicy BBQ. Each with its own distinct appeal and is not just for breakfast anymore.
One of my favorite recipes, and one passed down from my grandmother, is cheddar and bacon muffins. These savory muffins are best served at the dinner time with a nice hearty stew or soup. And have you ever tried adding crumbled bacon to pancakes? The smoky flavor compliments the sweetness of the syrup and is a pleasant surprise to the palette. Give it a try and see if your family doesn't rave about them.
The Italian version of bacon, pancetta, is a wonderful addition to tomato sauces and many Italian dishes. An all time favorite at my family's dinner table is pan seared pancetta with garlic and broccoli tossed into fluffy, spiral pasta. Top with a little grated parmesan and the kids just eat it up, broccoli and all; a great way to sneak in those veggies!
Bacon can help give a kick to certain meats, which on their own, do not have as much flavor. Pork is one such meat. To spice up the flavor of a boneless pork chop, try topping or wrapping it with bacon. Bake in the oven slowly so the bacon flavor can permeate through the chop. Your kitchen will smell amazing and you will be surprised at how tender and juicy the chop is since the bacon works to seal in the juices.
Recently, I have started to see some unique items made with bacon. Bacon salt, bacon spread and even bacon lollypops. Go Figure! Seems people really love their bacon and are not afraid to explore the options out there. There is even bacon flavored vodka and bacon ice cream, in case the pregnant lady in your life is not in the mood for pickles!
Whatever your style, or whatever your tastes, you can use bacon virtually anywhere. Try experimenting with recipes of your own and see what ways you can incorporate this salty treat into your recipes. You too will be saying, I love bacon
