The Best Ever Bacon Sandwich No. 1 - The Elvis

The Best Ever Bacon Sandwich No. 1 - The Elvis

Creating a post about the 'best ever' bacon sandwich may spark a debate. First, there is the age old argument about whether to toast the bread or not. You then run into the 'red sauce' or 'brown sauce' debate and I'm not even going to discuss back bacon or streaky. I am basically throwing the cat amongst the pigeons, ignoring all the rules and going totally off-piste with a short series of bacon sarnie recipes that I think are totally delicious.

OK, I'm just going to come straight out with it, in my opinion, a bacon sandwich needs to be in toasted bread with plenty of butter slathered over so that it melts and dribbles all round your fingers as you eat it. We used The Village Baking Co's epic sourdough bread for this sandwich, which made it even more delicious. Their large family-sized loaf has a wider profile and one sandwich is possibly big enough for two.

Let's face it, eating a bacon sandwich will not tick any health boxes, but every now and then, it's worth treating yourself so don't hold back, lay everything on good and thick. 

Recipe No. 1 - The Elvis
Serves 2
2 x Slices of Lievito Sourdough Bread
4 x Rashers of bacon (your choice on streaky or back bacon)
A good slathering of butter
A good slathering of Crunchy Peanut Butter
A good slathering of Karimix Sweet Pepper Chilli Jam
Some rocket, spinach or watercress

1. Grill the bacon to your liking and toast the bread.

2. Butter the toast and slather on the peanut butter, both pieces of toast need to be coated.

3. Lay in the bacon and drizzle plenty of Karimix Sweet Pepper Chilli Jam over the bacon.

4. Top with some salad leaves and the other side of toast. Enjoy.

Quick & Simple Baba Ganoush

Baba Ganoush is a wonderful smoky aubergine dip from the Middle East - it blows the socks off houmous. I love it with grilled pitta breads but often struggle to find the time to make it, that is until I discovered this new aubergine puree.

These addictively savoury noodles, laced with fiery chilli oil and fragrant, mouth-numbing Sichuan peppercorns do require a reasonably well stocked Chinese larder, but are relatively straight forward to make and will quite possibly become a regular on your weekly menu.

Spanish Seafood Paella

The beauty of making a paella - NO STIRRING! Get it on and go and do something else, the results are stunning. There are so many variations of this Catalan classic and (just like a risotto) there are so many different ingredients that you can use. When by the coast, fish and shellfish rule, the further inland, chicken, rabbit, sausage are the key. To make a good paella, there are a few things that you need to get right, the rest will take care of itself.
