Bacon, Lettuce and Pickles

It's the top of the summer for fruits and veggies in the market. Why would we make pickles out of all this lovely fresh fruits and veg? Because pickles taste delicious. Pickling enhances the natural flavour of fruits and veg with a bright burst of vinegar, salt and sugar. Use your quickie pickles to bump up your ramen, spike a drink or make an epic summer BLP sammy.

Making quickie pickles is easy! Here is a recipe for our basic brine you can pour over pretty much anything you feel like pickling. 

To assemble your epic summer sammy you'll need. 

 - big slabs of hearty sourdough bread

- gobs of mayonnaise

- loads of crispy bacon

- a bouncy pile of fresh lettuce

- your choice of quickie pickles

Bake your bacon, preheat your oven to 350˚. Spread your bacon into a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake until bacon is perfectly even and crispy, place the bacon on a piece of papertowel so it crisps up more.

Assemble your sandwich.

Liberally smear your bread with gobs of mayonnaise.

Scatter on your quickie pickles, pile up the lettuce, and now it's bacon time. Close your sandwich or leave it open faced. 

Eat this sandwich in the garden.
