Found a forgotton pork loin in the deep freeze the other day and decided to make some Canadian Bacons. The recipes came from Len Poli;
Pea Meal Bacon http://lpoli.50webs.com/index_files/Pea%20Meal%20Bacon.pdf
Canadian Bacon http://lpoli.50webs.com/index_files/Bacon-Canadian.pdf
The Loin (smaller for the pea meal, larger for the canadian)
Making the brine (this one is for the canadian)
Bagged up and heading to the fridge
I forgot to take photo's of the pea meal bacon, however here is the canadian going into the smoker ( along with a fattie)
And 5 hours later...done;
Freshly smoked hot bacon is awesome. Although I think it has a more ham like flavor.
Sliced;
And a bacon, egg & Cheese burger I made with it that night;
My preference is actually for the Pea Meal Bacon. It is awesome on a BLT with mayo. It's less hassle to make and seems more versatile.
Thanks for reading....
