Ingredients:
- A generous handful of chopped bacon ( I used a cooking bacon from Sainsburys - packs of odds and sods of smoked and unsmoked bacon bits that are as cheap as chips).
- Half an onion or around 4 shallots, chopped.
- Pinch of chopped chilli (not too much just enough to add a little heat).
- About a heaped desert-spoon of fresh chopped thyme.
- Large ripe tomato, chopped.
Heat a dash of olive oil in a pan and add the bacon. I use a high heat, work fast and stir often. Cook for a couple of minutes or so and then add the onion. Cook until the onion softens and the bacon starts to brown a little. Add the chilli, a little salt and a few twists of fresh ground pepper. Add the tomato and cook for a minute longer. The aim is not to overcook the ingredients so everything looks plump and fresh. Pile the mixture on hot buttered toast and eat immediately. Nice with a mug of tea - it would also be lovely with a crisp white wine.
