Bacon Porter Caramelized Onion Bruschetta

Bacon Porter Caramelized Onion Bruschetta

As an appetizer to the previous post I also threw together this quick bruschetta.  It was really easy to make and as usual, had some pretty intense flavors.  We here at ZP use caramelized onions quite a bit and combining them with bacon isn’t really all that ground breaking but it is delicious.  I used some Founders Porter to add some sweetness and color to these onions and I baked the bacon as we’ve done previously.

So here is the method for these little slices of heaven.  Yes they will please a crowd.

Warm Bacon Dressing Salad

Warm Bacon Dressing Salad

There is this program that I’ve recently become affiliated with and I believe that it’s slowly turning me into a monster.  Perhaps you’ve heard of it, it’s called Amazon Prime.  I would like to clarify that I have not paid for the privilege of being a prime member.  I was actually added as a second on the account and as such, I receive certain benefits such as free two day shipping.

So there I am, trolling Amazon for kitchen gadgets, reading reviews et cetera and I come across immersion blenders.  I had the chance to use one of these devices during my recent trip to Edmonton and I knew that I had to get one for myself.  With my index finger at the ready, I added it to my cart and checked out.  After that I went on with my daily activities.

The next day, sitting at my office, our delivery person shows up with a rectangular box for me.  I had no idea what it could be.  What did I order?  To my surprise, it was my immersion blender.  It got there in one day.

Amazon, you must be crazy.

I didn’t pay for shipping and I got a new kitchen gadget brought to me in one day.  This could be bad for my wallet.

So, that’s how this recipe came about.  Armed with my new immersion blender, I thought I should definitely use it and make some sort of dressing.  I had 5 slices of bacon sitting in my freezer because a man can never have too much spare bacon on hand.  (I actually buy it, cut it up into portions and freeze them separately)  I also had some nice spring mix and an itch to use my Trader Joe’s Orange Muscat Champagne Vinegar

I give you, my take on a salad with warm bacon dressing.  It’s bacony, orangey and of course, tasty.

Ruckus Sammich

Ruckus Sammich

I had more noodles lines up for all y’all but seeing as how today is 4/20, here’s the druggiest recipe I had in the archives. I’m calling it a “Ruckus Sammich” because much like the Wu-Tang Clan, it is chock full ofdistinct flavors all jockeying for prominence while at the same time coming together in a harmonious whole. This sandwich ain’t nuthin’ to fuck wit.

(N.B. It is unlikely you have all the ingredients listed in the recipe at hand. Substitutions are noted, but each will impact the overall flavor, which is carefully balanced lest it become an incoherent pile of slop. No substitutions have been listed for certain ingredients e.g. the peanut butter powder and Chinese raisin bread because the alternatives–peanut butter and domestic raisin bread, respectively–have much stronger flavors than those called for in the recipe. Basically, not sure how useful this recipe will be to anyone but here it is anyway.)

Recipe Remix – Anchovy Bacon Pesto Pasta

Recipe Remix – Anchovy Bacon Pesto Pasta

The last recipe made a pretty large amount of pesto.  I could not just throw it out, that would be completely wasteful.  Instead, I decided to jazz it up a bit with some simple ingredients I had laying around.  The rendered bacon is always a lovely addition and the anchovy, used sparingly gave a briny, fishy, funky feel to the whole thing.  This was an enjoyable meal.
