I liked the idea of this recipe but I must defer the brown sugar. I don’t see the need for it.
Great receipes can’t wait to try them.
Thanks! Sounds yummy, however the recipe is showing up. Can you re-post?
I’ve been making this with pastrami for years Tastes great. Never heard of lamb bacon before. Does anyone have a recipe for making your own?
Here is also a recipe for Cuck Prosciutto as an alternative.
You can definitely use Facon for this!
I got mine at Pomegranate in Brooklyn. You can for sure use beef bacon for this. Pastrami would be yummy too.
Does it have to be lamb?Can you use “Facon”?
I have also never seen lamb bacon here in Los Angeles. I was thinking of trying this with pastrami instead.
Where can I find Lamb bacon? I have never seen it in my butcher shop in Weschester County, NY.
