I, like many of us, love bacon. I frequently upload it to greens, pasta, salads, and so on.
In contrast to many of us I draw the road at having bacon in donuts or ice cream or cupcakes or (shudder) chocolate.
The bacon I am getting right here may be very other than what I used to be used to within the U.S. It’s no longer as salty or smoky and is far leaner. My mom saved a jar of bacon fats within the refrigerator to make use of for frying such things as potatoes or beef chops. That may no longer be imaginable right here. I’ve so as to add oil to the skillet once I fry bacon – and it by no means will get as ‘crisp’ because it did within the U.S.
Complete disclosure: the French would relatively fry in duck fats anyway.
Nonetheless – I do love just a little of bacon in my veggies.

My mom didn’t upload bacon to greens.
She added browned butter.
She had a different, black frying pan, about 5″ (12cm) in diameter that was once used for this job. The butter was once at all times completely golden brown, by no means too darkish; by no means too faded. It went on all greens from freshly picked, cooked carrots or inexperienced beans to canned ‘peas & carrots’ to canned ‘beef & beans’.
She browned butter for the greens at the Christmas desk and at the picnic desk.
I did it a couple of instances once I first began cooking my very own meals, however then were given out of the addiction. Now I simplest have it on contemporary, inexperienced asparagus however no longer as an additional step. I typically cook dinner asparagus in a tiny little bit of water in a skillet. When the asparagus is nearly carried out I pour off the water and upload butter. When the butter is brown the asparagus is finished.
The native marketplace had native, white and inexperienced asparagus the day past. Wager what’s for dinner?
