Len's Recipe of the Month - September 2017

Here's another gem I tried from the Valerie Bertinelli kitchen and it's so damn good.   Candied bacon!   Okay, it's probably not the healthiest snack or party appetizer.   Hey, you want quinoa?   Go over to the house of that bohemian friend who shops at Whole Foods.   For those who don't give a shit, read on.

Preheat your oven to about 325.

Take four thick slices of bacon and cut them into quarters.  In a separate bowl, blend together 1/4 cup of sriracha sauce and a 1/4 cup of brown sugar.   Add the bacon to the bowl and coat each slice thoroughly.

Lay a piece of aluminum foil across a cookie sheet and place a rack on top of it. Spray the rack with a non-stick spray.   Then lay the bacon across the rack. Miss Valerie calls for it to back for 45 minutes but mine was crisping up at the 35 minute mark.   Just watch it carefully.

Remove and let cool.   Valerie's recipe calls for a sesame seed sprinkle.   I didn't have any and I really didn't miss it.

This is sweet and spicy and made of pork fat.  Enjoy!!!!  

Dinner last night:  BLT sandwich at Cafe 50s.
