Laverbread Cakes and Bacon

 

More Welsh food! I had leftover laverbread, cockles, and bacon from Swansea Breakfast, so why not? I don’t have oatmeal, so I substituted with panko. Toast would go well, but I don’t have bread and I really don’t eat bread that much, anyway. I don’t eat bacon much, either, and I don’t like crispy bacon, so it’s golden brown for me.

• 4 oz laverbread
• 4 oz cooked cockles, shelled
• 1/4 cup panko
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 tsp vegetable oil
• 4 slices bacon

1. Mix all ingredients except oil and bacon. Leave for 5 minutes.
2. Heat oil in a pan and fry the bacon until golden brown. Remove and keep warm.
3. Drop spoonfuls of the laverbread mixture into the hot pan, flattening them gently with the back of a spoon. Cook over median heat for 1-2 minutes on each side until crisp and golden brown. Serve with bacon.
