Ingredients
- 8 British free-range smoked streaky bacon rashers
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 50g finely chopped shallots
- 2 tsp English mustard
- 2 tsp clear honey
- 3 tbsp cider vinegar
- 200g finely shredded raw greens (whatever is seasonal, such as kale, cavolo nero, shredded sprouts…)
Method
- Finely chop the bacon rashers, then fry in the olive oil in a heavy-based frying pan until crisp and golden. Scoop out with a slotted spoon onto kitchen paper and remove all but 3 tbsp of the oil/fat.
- Add the shallots and cook gently until soft and lightly golden. Add the mustard, honey, cider vinegar and some salt and freshly ground black pepper, then whisk until bubbling.
- While still hot, toss the dressing into the raw greens along with the crispy bacon. Good with roast poultry, or with hash browns and fried eggs.
