This is an old fashioned recipe from Silesia. Use a cold weather maturing lettuce.
Ingredients
6 crisp leaves of lettuce (iceberg preferably)
3 rashers of fatty bacon, finely diced
2 teaspoons vinegar, malt or cider
1 teaspoon sugar
Method
Finely slice the lettuce and place in serving dish.
Place the bacon rind into a frying pan, and heat so the fat starts to run.
Add the rest of the diced bacon and heat, stirring until the fat has run and the bacon is starting to crisp.
Add the vinegar, stir and then add the sugar, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
Pour bacon dressing over the lettuce and serve immediately.
