A little Nigella for Alexis

January 2nd, 2009

Hmm, what to have for brunch on New Year’s day? I had oatmeal and coffee, which was fine, but I would’ve really loved to have Nigella Lawson’s tomato and bacon hash. Oh mama, so salty and bacony. This recipe was on the Food Channel a few months ago and it’s been stuck in the ‘ol melon since then. I can’t think of a better kinda-healthy-after-party-breakfast.

Why not take a moment and watch the video right here?

If you’re looking for some ideas for breakkie tomorrow, here’s the recipe taken from the episode “Breakfast all Hours.” Hope you had a fantastic New Year’s Eve!

Bacon and Tomato Hash

Ingredients

  • 4 rashers streaky bacon
  • 2 teaspoons garlic-infused oil
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Serving suggestion: bread

Directions

Cut each piece of bacon into 3 or 4 pieces. Heat oil in a skillet. When oil is hot, fry bacon until crispy (the bacon will also give up flavorful fat of its own). Remove the bacon to a piece of kitchen towel.

Add the diced tomato, with all its seeded, gluey interior, into the hot oily pan, which will cause a great spitting and sizzling, and stir for a couple of minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce and stir again, then put the bacon back into the pan, mixing it into the tomato before transferring to a plate.

Scatter with some parsley and freshly ground black pepper, and serve with bread to dip in the oily juices.

    Sarah! Since I decided to leave Facebook, I have recently been obsessed with following blogs (I had to procrastinate somehow!). They’ve been around for years, but leave it to me to only now get to them. My usual faves are about babies and weddings, go figure. There are just so many great women writers out there, not to mention fabulously designed sites with lots of pictures!
    It is really good to see you up and writing again! More, more, more! I promise to be your # 1 fan! xo

    Are we talking the kind of number one fan that would send chocolates and cookie bouquets? excellent!
    I promise to do my best to help you procrastinate :-)
