After chicken came bacon. This morning proved quite successful with the evolving protein cracker. Today we made bacon crackers. A thin crisp, not too fatty, and a true flavor representation of bacon. We paired it with a button mushroom and bacon soup with barberries plumped in calvados, shaved jalapeno, ramps, and semi-dried shiitake mushrooms. Here is the cracker with the soup ragout before the addition of the soup.
