Just tried this recipe (well not the complete recipe, didn’t use the fennel, bay leaf and garlic, added cinnamon powder instead). After 5 days in the chiller I drained the liquid, felt that the liqiud slowed the process. Added a little more salt and spices. After 8 days instead using the oven- I smoked it using an improvised smoker/bbq grill (w/ mesquite smoke chips in foil-bought the wood chips from true-value, good thing it was on sale). Froze it and cut it (easier to cut frozen). Fried it this morning for breakfast-(with eggs from our own chicken) it was really good. I will never buy overpriced, water and chemical injected bacon from the groceries again. I feel like Hugh from that River Cottage show.

I think this is a great recipe and I would love to try it since my kids love bacon. But I was just wondering is it possible to remove the oven/baking part cause I don’t have an oven here at home. Or can give me any suggestion to replace the oven part? Also is it in the freezer or just in the chiller for 7 days..thanks a lot.

MM,

I tried this recipe and it turned out great. It tastes like a deli type bacon (without the nitrate) and a mild Italian sausage. Two great dishes if you ask me. You’re right, delicious results but minimum effort. The most difficult part in making this dish is the 7-day wait.
