Slab bacon is whole, smoked pork belly before it gets sliced into those familiar bacon strips.
With slab bacon, you can slice it how you like it – thick, ultra-thin, or somewhere in between. Think of it as bespoke bacon.
That freedom allows you to get creative in the kitchen. Cut bacon into lardons – a French term for matchstick strips - and use them on frisée salad, tarte flambée, in carbonara, or for soups of all kinds.
In fact, you can begin soups and braises by rendering a slice of slab bacon (think coq au vin, beef bourguignon), which will impart smoky flavor and just enough bacon fat to get things going. And baked beans are just crying out for chunks of slab bacon.
The best part is that slab bacon freezes beautifully, so just portion it out in vacuum-sealed bags and draw on your bacon stores for months to come. You will never be caught without bacon again.
