Apple and Bacon Roll with Cinnamon Honey Sauce

FEELING STRESSED! The assignments and the submission to meet next week is simply driving my nerves to breaking point! Everyone in the household is under immense pressure and we hardly talk as everyone is thinking of their work and their progress. How to overcome that?

DON'T THINK ABOUT IT!!!

Now here's something really worth thinking about, I reckon cooking is really theraputhic, anyone with me? Making something simple everyday gives you certain sense of achievement! >.< In addition to that, you (well at least myself) get feel relieved and happy deep inside when you see something nice created with your own hands. (This reminds me of Su Yin's cakes) But anyway, check out the recipe...



Ingredient: (serves 1)
1 strip Middle Bacon
1/2 a Large Apple (use Royal Gala if red or Granny Smith if Green) (diced, or cut into chunks)
2 stick Celery (coarsely chopped)
2 tsp Cinnamon Powder
1 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Butter
1/3 cup water
Few Basil Leafs (coarsely chopped, add some to pot of boiling water)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Method:
1. Place bacon strip in a pot of boiling water, leave to braise for 3 minutes or less. Remove from water. Leave to cool for a couple of minutes.
2. In a bowl, mix all apple chunks with 1tsp cinamon powder and the rest of basil leafs. Lay bacon on dry surface, place some apple chunks on top of bacon and roll over carefully, hold with toothpick if neccessary. Roast in preheated oven at 200 degrees Celcius for 15 minutes.
3. Melt butter in a saucepan, add the remaining apples and sautee for a minute or two, add water, bring to boil, turn to low heat and slowly stir in honey.
4. On a plate, place chopped celery, top with roasted bacon, pour over with honey apple sauce. Done. Serve hot or cold.
