Bacon Martini

ksmom3 · 06-27-2008, 05:58 PM

After reading the Bacon thread I just happened to turn it to the Travel Channel and on Samantha Brown Great Weekend getaways she had a Bacon Martini at some bar I actually just turned it to the show when she was talking about it but didn't catch the bars name!!

Oh, and she said it was pretty good an the bacon was a subtle finish!!

I saw a video clip earlier of a restaurant showing how they make their *famous* bacon and egg ice cream!

If you saw the season 4 finale episode of Top Chef (last week, was it?), you saw Richard make a dish called Banana Scallop with Bacon Ice Cream. I kid you not:

Ingredients:
A good sprinkle of brown sugar
4 bananas, cut into sea scallop shapes
1/4 cup fresh cilantro stem, chopped
1 lb pork belly
Salt to taste
2 quarts heavy cream
2 pods vanilla bean, scraped
9 egg yolks
1 small ginger root, smashed
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup dehydrated hickory powder
2 cups Puerto Rican spiced rum

Garnish:
Cilantro stem

Directions:Add a good sprinkle of brown sugar on banana scallops, sear and reserve. Season pork with salt and grill. Add in with the cream, vanilla, egg yolks, ginger, sugar and hickory powder. Cook until you have a strong bacon flavor. Strain and chill then freeze with an ice cream machine or your stash of liquid nitrogen. Meanwhile, reduce rum to a syrup.

Dress the plate with crispy banana scallops, cold quenelle of bacon ice cream and a sprinkle of warm rum reduction. Garnish with cilantro stem.

He didn't win, btw. . .don't think it had anything to do with this dish, though. I beleive the judges really liked this one.
