Notes & Tips

* For added flavour, toast croutons in the pan used for cooking your bacon. Simply sauté cubes of day-old bread in the bacon fat and season with pepper (usually the bacon fat adds enough salt).

    Nice and freash. I used 3 anchovy fillets since can't find paste here in smalll town in eastern Finland. I 'd like to use plenty of black pepper. Keep it in fridge over night, next day the flavours are even better. Thanks Anna. We have used many of saled recipes which are exellent to taste during endless summer nights.
