Ingredients for 5 servings:

- 18 oz of marinated bacon

- 1.3 oz of celery

Recipe:

- Remove the skin of the torrezno without leaving any meat. Reserve both parts separately.

- Cook over low heat until the bacon is cooked and tender.

- Reserve a third part of the cooked bacon to decorate and the rest we crush until obtaining a uniform cream.

- Let cool the cream and, once cold, mount the mousse with a blender with the attachment of the rods.
