Bacon-sweet and spicy bacon, sweet and salty bacon- Kenyan food blogger-african food blogger

If you do not love bacon, then we aren’t friends. If you do not like bacon and never eat it, then we are outright enemies. In fact you need to sit in a corner, for the rest of your life and think about what on earth could be wrong with you. It surely isn’t normal to not like bacon.

I love bacon and all its siblings. Be it pancetta or Canadian bacon. As long as it is made with pork meat I am happy. I have never really understood macon or beef bacon. Tastes so weird, doesn’t have enough fat or salt, quite blaah if you ask me. Now, turkey bacon I have not tasted. There is quite a stir around it so I would definitely

try it if I found it. Have you tried it? If you are in Kenya where do you buy it from?

I love to experiment with bacon and that is how I came up with this recipe.I love the whole sweet and salty, sweet and spicy combination.  So one day I just decided why not add brown sugar. It was so good me and the Mr fought over it. Next I decided to try and add chilis to it. It was the bomb I promise you. If you love the whole sweet and savory mix this is guaranteed to be your new favorite. Make sure you share the recipe with all the bacon lovers out there.

Happy Cooking!!

Everythings Better with Bacon: Sweet and Spicy Bacon

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Yield: 4

Ingredients

  1. 400g bacon of your choice.
  2. 1/2-1 teaspoon of chilli flakes (available at leading supermarkets.
  3. 1.5 - 2 tablespoons of dark brown sugar

Instructions

1. Cook the bacon according to the manufactures instructions. Usually I place in a medium to hot pan and let it cook in its own fat for about 5-6 minutes turning halfway. If you like it crispy cook for longer, . Other ways of cooking is boiling (tried it, hated it), putting a little oil in a pan, heat till hot then cook the bacon as above. I do this sometimes if i want bacon flavored oil for my potatoes. You can also grill it.

Once you flip the bacon let it cook for a minute then add the sugar and chili. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes till caramelized. Serve hot.

Happy Eating!!

Cost is Ksh. 90 per serving.
