Battle Bacon



Iron chef time again and this time it was a head to head battle between the Smiths and the Haneys! The ingredient was BACON. Have I had bacon since that day? Well, actually no, come to think of it, I have not. But nonetheless we did cook some very delectable bacon dishes.

The ingredient was picked by my coworkers so no one had any advance knowledge of the challenge at hand. However, we might have taken some license as we allowed any sort of bacon to be used - back bacon, pancetta, proscuitto or the old fashioned strips.

What was the outcome?
A delicious range of dishes.
Jason - bacon havarti "melts" on garlic bread, caramel bacon fritters
Sandy - bacon chowder and a decontructed caesar salad
Pat - brie proscuitto roll, melon and bacon, bacon in a "blanket" with duo of dipping sauces
Carlyn - bacon popped popcorn with pancetta croutons and parmesan cheese, deconstructed bacon avocado and tomato sandwich, potato skins and bacon wrapped stuffing.

Needless to say, I continue to kick ass and take names.
