Ingredients

12 small banana shallots
16 slices of streaky bacon
1 tsp fresh sage or rosemary, chopped
Black pepper

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 160°C, 320°F, gas mark 3.
Trim of the end of the shallots, leaving the root intact. Place in a pan of water and bring to the boil and simmer for 3 minutes, just to soften. Remove from the water and leave to cool.
Place the bacon slices on a tray, and sprinkle with the herbs and black pepper. When the shallots are cold, place each one on a slice of bacon and roll-up the shallot in the bacon - quite loosely as the bacon will shrink as it cooks. . You can secure the bacon with a cocktail stick if you wish - if not make sure the end of the bacon is underneath so it does not unravel.
Roast in the oven until bacon is crispy.
