Cooking time: 30 min
Make the bacon jam
1. Cut the bacon into cubes of 1 by 1 centimeter 2. Heat the sunflower oil in a pan with a thick bottom (for example such a creuset pan) and fry the bacon cubes on low heat around. 3. Scoop the meat out of the pan with a slotted spoon and place on a cutting board.
4. Fry the onion in the remaining fat. Then add half of the thyme. 5. Cut the bacon cubes even finer, so that you have small pieces and put them back in the pan. 6. Add the sugar, sherry and water, stir well and let simmer (± 15 minutes) until you have almost no moisture in the pan. 7. Taste and season with pepper, salt, balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil (the jam will shine beautifully) and the rest of the fresh thyme.
