Last day at the cabin I want a nice meat appetizer for the veggie pasta. Ideas?
Use cayenne pepper, a little more than the recipe calls for, or else it is too sweet. I make this to take to parties and it gets instantly eaten and then they ask for more.
If the caramelized bacon appeals, bacon jam might scratch that same sweet spot. I made a variation of it this week (left out the coffee, used Lambrusco and plenty of chili powder for oomph) and It. Is. GOOD. Would be a great appetizer with crackers and cheese, maybe with some fruit (grapes? apple slices?) or tomato.
