Frying Bacon to Make Stuffed Mirlitons

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is David for Expert Village and today we are going to make a stuffed mirliton pirogue. For out stuffing for the mirlitons we are going to add some bacon to our pan here. Just go ahead and drop that in you see that sizzle. What we want to do is not only make the bacon crispy we want to render some of that fat. That is going to add a lot of flavor. You can see the oil coming off right away we did not have to add anything to the pan. I would suggest starting off with a hot pan just like this and separate those pieces out. You see all of that coming out. You can turn it down to about medium heat you don't want to burn these. But you want to render all of that pork fat so you can get all that taste in here which we are going to add to it you are going to see. It smells so good just rendering bacon. "
