It has been a while since I have posted once again. I had someone ask me the other if I had been starving myself since I had not updated my blog. I have been doing plenty of cooking, but needed some time to regather my thoughts and do some research on more great food.
I had cured some bacon a little while ago and still have a bundle in my freezer...good problem to have! A couple weeks ago, I was out of fresh ideas on plating and remembered I had seen something on MasterChef where the chef had to recreate one of Chef Gordan Ramsey's dish with potato confit and scallops. This is not exactly like Chef Ramsey's plate, but it was created base off of it.
The beauty of homecured bacon is that you can cut it any way you want to. In this case, I had cut up some bacon and cooked it down. I used the bacon fat (who wouldn't right?) to fry the thinly sliced potatoes. I tossed the potato chips with garlic power, salt, parsley and Chinese five spice powder. Why the Chinese five spice powder you ask?
The bacon was cured with Chinese five spice powder already and the bacon fat had a hint of the flavor so I went ahead and decide to enhance the flavor a bit more. Phenomenal!
The plate on MasterChef had a salad that came with it so I made the "salad" as my garnish.
