Bacon Vinaigrette
serves 2-4
This simple vinaigrette is oh so good - you could substitute another kind of vinegar for balsalmic, but the darker flavor compliments the bacon perfectly.
4 slices bacon
3 shallots, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
salt and pepper
prep: 20 minutes
total: 20 minutes
skillet
paper towel
1. In a large skillet, fry the bacon over medium heat until it's crispy. Set it aside on paper towel to drain.
2. Sauté the shallots in the bacon fat until they are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 minutes more.
3. Pour in the vinegar and simmer until it reduces by half. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the olive oil and parsley. Crumble the bacon and stir it into the vinaigrette. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
