• 4 Strips Thick Cut Bacon

Procedure:

1. Put the Bacon in the Cold Water in a pan and bring to a boil.

When a French recipe calls for Bacon, it is talking about unsalted and unsmoked Bacon.  Since this is not easy to come by in the States, you can replicate the flavor by blanching the Bacon.  This is a simple alternative to French Bacon.  This makes sure when you put the Bacon in a dish, it is not overpowering.  You may eat the Bacon after blanching or fry it up like I did in the video.  It's a completely different Bacon experience, but it gets you to appreciate the flavor of the meat over the smokiness or saltiness of Bacon.
