Braised Bacon Nachos

with Chipotle Peach Chutney

•Soy-free •Dairy-free •Nut-free

slowly braising bacon makes it tender and soft, and a spicy,

sweet chutney is the perfect finishing touch.

FoR baCon:

1 pound (454 g) slab bacon

(unsliced bacon)

½ onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

¼ cup (80 g) peach preserves

1½ cups (355 ml) chicken stock

or water

FoR ChutneY:

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

½ cup (160 g) peach preserves

1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce

FoR naChos:

1 tablespoon (15 ml) canola oil,

divided

6 soft corn tortillas, each cut

into 4 wedges

2 tablespoons (6 g) finely

chopped chives

to braise the bacon: Preheat the oven to 300 ̊F (150 ̊C, or gas mark 2).

Heat a medium-size oven-safe sauté pan over medium-high heat.

Brown the bacon on all sides until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Add

the onion, garlic, peach preserves, and chicken stock and cover. Place in

the oven and cook for 3 to 4 hours, or until very tender. Transfer to a plate

and let cool to room temperature.

to make the chutney: Combine the garlic, peach preserves, and

chipotle chile in a food processor or mini food processor. Pulse until all of

the ingredients are combined and the mixture is smooth. Refrigerate until

ready to use.

to make the nachos: Heat a medium-size sauté pan over medium-high

heat. Add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of the canola oil and fry the tortilla wedges, a

few at a time, until brown and crispy on all sides. Add more oil as needed,

and repeat until all of the tortilla wedges are crispy.

Arrange the tortilla wedges on a platter. Slice the braised bacon into

24 pieces and place 1 on top of each tortilla wedge. Top each with a dollop

of the chutney and sprinkle with the chives.

Yield: 6 servings

Chef’s Tip

Packaged tortilla chips can be used instead of homemade if you like. I like

the scoop-shaped ones—the ingredients nestle perfectly inside!
