How to bacon & capers patties

Fry the bacon.

Chop it finely.

Drain the capers.

I had cocktail capers that are a bit bigger than the regular ones so I chopped them (which isn't necessary with the small ones).

Crumble a slice of white bread.

Like so.

Add milk and let soak for 5 min.

In a bowl mix minced meat with the bacon.

Add grated onion..

..the soaked bread, capers, egg, mustard and salt.

Mix thoroughly but do not over-do it.

Form patties and fold the bacon around each patty.

Like so. We cut the bacon lenghtwise before wrapping the patties.

Fry the patties in butter in a skillet. We only browned them on the stove, then we put them in the oven until ready.

Save the meat juices that are left in the skillet. Add some water, then through a sieve, pour it into another pan. In it we will make the sauce.

Like so.

Add water, cream, balsamic vinegar and beef broth of some kind. We used a balsamic vinegar with figs and dates. Use what you can find.

If you use regular balsamic vinegar perhaps you want to add some flour to thicken the sauce.

When done, take out from the oven and sprinkle some fresh thyme on top before serving.

Serve the patties with a salad and/or potatoes of your choice.
