Cam’s Fough Facon

Ingredients (1 tray) :

Facon:

• 2 pieces rice paper 

• 1.5 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tbsp olive oil (or cooking oil of choice)

• 1 tbsp maple syrup 

• 0.5 tsp liquid smoke 

• 0.5 tsp garlic powder

• 0.5 tsp onion powder 

• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika

• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper

Recipe from: https://sweetsimplevegan.com/

How to:

Facon:

Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. 

Stack two sheets of rice paper on top of one another. Using sharp scissors or kitchen shears, carefully cut both of the stacked sheets into 6 strips. If there are small tears here and there, it is not an issue! Keep the two pieces stacked on top of one another and set aside. Continue until you have cut all of the rice paper. 

In a large shallow bowl or pan, whisk together all of the ingredients for the marinade. Set aside. Prepare a second large shallow bowl or pan, add in warm water.

Keeping the two strips stacked, dip them into the water for about 15 seconds. You don’t want the rice paper to soften up like you are making spring rolls, but rather to keep its stiff shape and just begin sticking to one another. If it is not fully stuck together, no worries, it will stick as it bakes. Shake off excess water.

Dip the “fused” pair of rice paper strips into the marinade and coat generously. No need to shake off excess marinade. Transfer it to the baking lined sheet.

Repeat with additional rice paper/rice paper strips until your baking sheet is filled. 

Bake for 7 minutes and then remove the pan from the oven and carefully flip the bacon with tongs. The bacon will seem soft and loose, but don’t worry, this is only the halfway point. Place the baking sheet back into the oven and bake for an additional 2-5 minutes, or until crispy. If you would like for it to have a slight chew, you can bake it enough to where the edges are crispy and the inside is chewy! 

Remove from the oven and cool completely. The bacon will continue to crisp up as it cools.

Repeat with the remaining strips until you have baked all of the bacon. Enjoy!

Brown Ale & Bacon Brittles

ingredients: ( 1 baking sheet)

Brittles:

• 0.5 dl Brown ale ( I used Newcastle Brown Ale)

• 2 dl sugar

• 1 dl corn syrup

• 3 tbsp butter

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1 dl pecans, chopped

• 6 slices of bacon, cooked until crispy and chopped

• 0.5 tsp salt

• 1 pinch cayenne pepper

How to:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Combine bacon, pecans, salt and cayenne in a bowl and set aside as well. 

In a saucepan, combine beer, sugar, and corn syrup until well mixed. Over medium-high heat, bring mixture to 120 C, without stirring. Add in butter and stir constantly until mixture reaches 160 C. Remove from heat and quickly stir in the baking soda (mixture will foam up). Fold in nut and bacon mixture. Pour onto lined baking sheet and spread mixture out evenly.

Let harden (and cool) completely, then break into pieces. Enjoy.
