Spicy Anchovy
Candied Bacon
Ingredients
- 1 cup tightly packed light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Crown Prince Natural Anchovy Paste
- 1 tbsp chili flakes
- 1 tsp coarse ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 lb thick cut bacon
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Whisk all ingredients, except for bacon in a small mixing bowl.
Dip each piece of bacon into sugar mixture and place onto a parchment paper lined sheet tray. Do this for all pieces of bacon. There will be some sugar mixture left in the bowl. Set the mixture aside. Transfer the sheet tray of bacon to the oven. Bake for about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully drain the excess grease from the sheet tray and turn the bacon over. Drizzle remaining sugar mixture onto the bacon and return to the oven. Bake for another 15-20 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and change the temperature of the oven to 320°F. Transfer the bacon to another sheet tray lined with parchment paper and a rack. Place bacon on the rack and return to the oven. Bake for another 15 minutes. Remove the bacon from the oven and allow to completely cool before serving.
Yield: about 10 slices
Meet Chef Jan Hill
Hi, I’m Chef Jan Hill! I am a first-generation immigrant from Laos. I grew up and settled in the Southern California area before moving to Atlanta in July of 2018.
My culinary career started in fine dining at the one Michelin star rated Ortolan in Los Angeles. Since then, I have worked in many different areas of the culinary world ranging from teaching kids’ cooking classes to working in the culinary department of University of Southern California to many famed and well-known resorts in the Palm Springs area. Since becoming a Georgian I have also created food for scenes in Black Lightning and The Resident.
I believe cooking and food is what every culture has in common. We all need to eat to survive, but food itself brings families and friends across cultures together. I live to eat and cook amazing food; I do not eat and cook amazing food to live.
