Ocado Smoked Bacon Lardons.Smoked rindless bacon lardons with added water.These small, thick-cut pieces of bacon are the perfect flavour bomb to add to your favourite dishes. Their small size allows them to render the fat evenly, adding a luxurious, melt-in-your-mouth richness, crispy outside texture and slightly chewy interior when cooked. The curing and smoking processes add a noticeable salty, savoury flavour, with a strong umami presence in your dish.Smoked bacon lardons are incredibly versatile and are essential in traditional French dishes like quiche Lorraine, beef bourguignon, and Lyonnaise salad. They add depth to pasta sauces, most notably in carbonara, and contribute a smoky, hearty flavour to soups, stews, and casseroles. Crispy lardons provide a warm, savoury contrast to fresh salad greens and elevate simple vegetable dishes like sautéed Brussels sprouts, green beans, or peas. Use up your leftovers in a breakfast frittata or add to a homemade pizza as an extra topping.Looking for midweek meal inspiration?
