Apple & Bacon

This time of year we often find we have a surplus of apples. This Apple and bacon dish is an absolute winner being both simple to make and surprisingly delicious. It is a novel way to serve up apple as a savoury dish.

What you need for 4 servings:

4 apples (sweet or cooking apples) peeled, cored and sliced. 

200g  bacon lardons. 

Bunch of fresh chives and parsley finely chopped.

Method

Fry the lardons using a large pan. Once they start cooking ( after two minutes) add the sliced apple. Allow to sauté for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the chives and parsley over the dish.  Serve immediately:

Serving suggestions: 

This dish can be served just as it is. In Ireland it is served on toasted brown bread. In Denmark it is served on rye bread as a luncheon dish. In Brittany we served it in a buckwheat pancake sometimes along with a glass of cider!
