Lardons (recipes)


Lardons are small, chunky cubes of bacon (smoked or unsmoked) used to flavour dishes such as quiches. They can also be fried and scattered in salads. They' re often sweated with onions as a base for soups or stews. They give a good salty depth of flavour to robust dishes such as coq au vin.They' re sold vacuum-packed in most supermarkets, but if you can' t find them then thick rashers of bacon cut into dice will do. They will keep in the fridge for about three days.Coq au vin
