8 streaky rashers put to the taste test

STREAKY rashers are an excellent standby to rustle up an easy meal and will lift all sorts of dishes.

A few chopped and lightly looked in oil before adding onions and seasonal vegetables makes an excellent start to a soup and will give it a meaty, satisfying feel.

Start with chopped rashers for a stir-fry or sprinkle grilled and chopped streaky rashers on finished dishes such as an omelette or tomato sauce with pasta to make a meal in a few minutes. Wrapping seafood such as monkfish in thin rashers adds lots of flavour and make an easy supper with boiled basmati rice on the side.
