Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 tomatoes
- 8 slices back or European style bacon
- 8 slices smoked bacon
- 8 sausage links
- 16 button mushrooms about 8oz
- 1 14oz can of baked beans
- 4 slices wheaten bread
- 4 slices soda bread
- 4 wedges potato farls
- 4 eggs
- 1 tbsp salted butter
Instructions
- Ulster Fry is not hard to make. There's a lot of food to be cooked, so once food is cooked, it needs to be kept warm in a 200 degrees F. oven. The goal is to have hot delicious food ready at the same time.
- Arrange the smoked and back bacon onto two separate Silpat mats. Place onto two baking trays. Place in a pre heated 350 degrees F. oven for about 20-30 minutes until your desired crispiness level. Remove cooked bacon from the baking tray and dry on sheets of paper towel. Reserve all bacon fat, pour it into a dish, it will be used for the fried bread.
- Place both bacons back onto one baking tray. Cover with foil and return to a 200 degrees F. oven to keep warm.
- Brush the dirt off the mushrooms and rinse the tomatoes under running cold water.
- Place the whole mushrooms in a pot and add a tbsp of butter and black pepper. Sauté for about 10-15 minutes with the lid on. Feel free to remove the lid for the final 5 minutes of cooking for the liquid to evaporate.
- Place the tomatoes and sausages onto the spare baking pan, that was used to cook bacon. The leftover bacon fat is enough to cook the sausages and roast the tomatoes. Cook in a 350 degrees F. oven for about 20 minutes. Once cooked, cover with foil and reduce the oven temperature to 200 degrees F.
- On an electric griddle, set at 350 degrees F. brush each side soda and wheaten bread with bacon fat. When the soda bread is golden brown and the wheaten bread is darker, turn and toast the other side. Remove bread from the griddle when done. Place in on a baking tray, cover with foil and place it in the 200 degrees F. oven where the bacon, sausage and tomatoes are being kept warm.
- Add oil to the griddle if needed, crack each egg into a small bowl and pour each egg, one at at time, onto the hot griddle. Sprinkle with salt and cracked black pepper. Add the potato farls and cook both foods. Farls should be golden brown and the eggs should be cooked to your liking.
- Open the beans and warm in a pot or microwave. Serve all the ingredients that are hot off the griddle, kept warm in the oven, sautéed in the pot and microwaved onto a large platter or tray. Enjoy with a nice cup of tea!
