More Info
Streaky bacon is cut from pork belly, giving each rasher alternating layers of meat and fat. The fat gradually renders during cooking, creating a succulent texture and allowing the edges to crisp.
“Natural” refers to the bacon being unsmoked. It should not be interpreted as preservative-free but has been cured instead of smoked in its preservation process.
Without the additional smoked character, the pork and curing seasoning remain more prominent. This makes it particularly versatile for breakfasts and recipes where a strong smoky taste could overpower the other ingredients.
Cooking Tips
- Pan-frying: Place in a cool or moderately heated pan and cook gradually, turning when required.
- Grilling: Arrange in a single layer and grill until fully cooked and browned to your preference.
- Oven cooking: Place on a lined baking tray and cook until evenly coloured. This works particularly well when cooking several portions.
- Crispier bacon: Allow more of the fat to render over moderate heat before removing it from the pan.
- Softer bacon: Cook until fully done but remove it before the rashers become crisp.
Serve with eggs and toast, add to sandwiches and burgers, wrap around sausages or chicken, or use it in pasta, quiches, soups and salads.
