Breakfast: Bacon, Liver and Onion Roll

In recent weeks Borough Market has become my regular Saturday morning haunt and breakfast has taken the form of a very excellent Bacon, liver, onion roll with watercress and dijon mustard mayo from Maria's greasy spoon cafe right in the centre of the main market - usually washed down with a cup of Monmouth coffee.

This weekend I was in Portsmouth, so attempted to recreate this tasty weekend breakfast treat myself. The results weren't entirely successful, but still a good breakfast. Points to improve for next time (possibly tomorrow morning).

Bacon too thin
Liver sliced too thick
I think Maria's may use more expensive Calf's liver, I used lamb's.
Liver was a touch overcooked.

Delightful Breakfast from Lawrence Keogh

This week's Saturday Kitchen on BBC1 featured Lawrence Keogh of the restaurant Roast in Borough market making a delicious breakfast dish - Tattie scone with bacon, field mushrooms and slow-roasted tomatoes in Worcestershire sauce . Voted the number one breakfast in London and a restaurant that boasts one hundred and seventy plus covers for breakfast, lunch and dinner - I certainly had to give it a go.


I had to substitute soda farls for the tattie scone and didn't have the fancy eggs that Lawrence used the results were still very delicious - I was really surprised at how nice the tomatoes in Worcestershire Sauce were - I thought they would be too strong a flavour, but the reduction made it less acidic and intensified the flavours and give it a nice little spicy kick to boot.
