This was on MSN’s page. I haven’t even been yet, and every time I hear the word bacon I think of Telluride.
Wow! Bookmarked!!! The bacon/tomato guac sounds awesome!
Yum !
:cheers
I’m here! It’s still festival season so I’m still going strong. You all would have been proud to see the skillets of bacon we cranked out at Rockygrass. Next stop is Four Corners Festival in Pagosa Springs.
Well I thought that this needed to be bumped soon anyway and then Jo found this recipe in a local restaurant magazine. Hooch baby, this one is for you! Could it become the new or alternate Hooch for which you are so known? Hmmm…
Bourbon With a Side of Lipitor, Please
We recently enjoyed a very tasty bacon-infused bourbon drink made by mixologist Matthew Seiter at Sanctuaria, the new tapas restaurant in The Grove. After he explained the process of fat-washing, we wanted to make our own bacony bourbon. Here’s how (you can use the same process for vodka):
Fry up a pound of bacon (our favorite is Burgers’ smoked bacon) and reserve about 4 ounces of the rendered fat. Eat the bacon. Strain the fat through cheesecloth to remove the bacon bits. Snack on the bacon bits.
Pour one 750-ml bottle of bourbon into a wide-mouth glass container.
Mix in the bacon fat and let sit at room temperature for four to five hours, stirring occasionally to keep mixed.
Freeze the mixture for two hours or until the fat rises to the top of the container and solidifies.
Scoop out the solid fat and strain the bourbon through a coffee filter back into the bottle.
Sauce pick: Bacon-Infused Bourbon
Where to get it: Make your own or try it in Seiter’s Manhattan at Sanctuaria, 4198 Manchester Ave., St. Louis
Info: 314.535.9700 or sanctuariastl.com
