Why ? The taste and smell of bacon has been known to turn vegetarians back to meat eaters, until substitute vegetarian bacon was produced, just the thought of a bacon buttie would make a vegetarians mouth water.
The combination of the bacon and beetroot flavours combine and if eaten on crusty bread will be the best meal of the day.
Health ? Use pickled beetroot slices, the acetic acid in the vinegar fights fat by turning on genes for fatty acid oxidation enzymes. The genes churn out proteins involved in breaking down fats, thus suppressing body fat accumulation in the body.
Acetic acid is also known to help maintain normal blood pressure, and stabilize sugar levels in your blood.
Bacon contains around 30 - 50 calories per slice depending on thickness.
Beetroot will contain around 1 calorie or less per serving.
Choose low fat or lean bacon, and grill to your liking. The more bacon is grilled, the more fat it loses. After grilling the bacon if desired you can place on kitchen roll and pat dry to take any extra fat off.
Slice two pieces of fresh crusty, again the size of the loaf and the thickness of each slice is up to you, but remember even with small thin slices this dish will truly fill you up.
Cover one slice of bread with a generous portion of sliced pickled beetroot, allowing the red juice to soak into the bread.
Place two slices of bacon onto the beetroot, then cover with the other slice of bread, and pat down softly to allow the juice off the beetroot to combine with the bacon.
Slice the sandwich in half and enjoy a wonderful tasting healthy sandwich.
