- mrdutton - 03-14-2004 Cook bacon and drain, saute a Granny Smith Apple. Make a heated dressing with sour cream, Camembert (rind removed), apple cider, apple vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Arrange bibb, boston or butter (whatever you want to call it) lettuce on a plate, drizzle with olive oil and fresh lemon juice, add the warm sauted apples and crumbled bacon. Top-off with the dressing. Grill a hamburger and a portabella mushroom. Dress the mushroom and the burger with a small slice of Camembert and butter. Tonight I'll be having this combination with a glass of 2002 Rosemont Grenache/Syrah which is currently selling locally at $10.39 for a magnum. Don't have Camembert? Use Brie instead. Anybody hungry? - Botafogo - 03-14-2004 Wow, does that sound good! I would hit it with a Rosé Champagne.... - wondersofwine - 03-15-2004 That does sound delicious! Do you saute the apple in bacon drippings or butter or vegetable oil? Some salads with apple go nicely with a Macon white wine (tart apple flavors in the chardonnay which has not been through malolactic fermentation) but with the bacon I might go to a rose or light red wine instead. - mrdutton - 03-15-2004 The apples are sauted in the pork fat rendered from the bacon. - Georgie - 03-15-2004 Sounds delicious, and it would be easy to make a low-cal version using turkey bacon amd low fat sour cream. Yum! |
