Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 strips applewood smoked bacon
4 to 6 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only
3 medium Golden Delicious apples
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons superfine sugar
Baby arugula

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Arrange the bacon on a sheet tray, sprinkle with some of the thyme and bake until crispy, about 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Slice the apples horizontally to create 5 to 6 cross sections of the apple. On a separate sheet tray lined with a silpat or parchment paper lay the apples out in a single layer and drizzle with a little olive oil. Sprinkle a little sugar and thyme on each slice then bake in the oven until the apples begin to dehydrate and sugar has melted and caramelized, about 8 to 10 minutes
  • To serve, lay the apple and bacon slices, alternating, in a long overlapping line on a serving platter. Or, break the bacon pieces in half and reassemble the apple slices back together, placing crispy bacon pieces in between each slice. Garnish with arugula and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. These apples will hold their shape and provide a nice contrast to the sweet bacon and tangy vinegar.
  • Cut the apples evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from becoming mushy while others remain hard.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many apples to the pan at once, they will steam instead of fry. This will make them soft and mushy.
  • Cook the apples until they are tender but still have a little bit of bite: This will give them the best texture and flavor.
  • Add the bacon and onion towards the end of cooking: This will prevent them from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Season the relish to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices as desired. You can also add a bit of maple syrup or brown sugar for sweetness.
  • Let the relish cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.

Conclusion:

Apple bacon relish is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for topping burgers, hot dogs, and sandwiches. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for chicken fingers or fries. No matter how you choose to use it, apple bacon relish is sure to be a hit!
