3256. BACON CHOP with PICKLED RHUBARB

serves four


4 bacon chops, weighing about 180-200g
200 grams rhubarb, trimmed
2 shallots, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
150 ml cider vinegar
1 tablespoon caster sugar

Salt and freshly ground black pepper. Dissolve the sugar in the vinegar. Thinly slice the sticks of rhubarb on the angle and mix with the shallots in a non-reactive bowl; season to taste. Cover with clingfilm and leave for 3-4 hours, or overnight. Heat a ribbed griddle or heavy frying pan and cook the chop for 4-5 minutes on each side. Drain the liquid from the rhubarb and serve separately, or on the plate with the chop.
