The inspiration for making the onion chutney was a peameal bacon crostini with onion relish and mustard by kozliks that I recently got the chance to try. Since I did not get a recipe I got the chance to make up my own. With the onion chutney filling in for the onion relish I had the hard part done and the only thing left was the mustard. I was pretty sure that it was not just plain mustard as it was milder than I would expect and it was a bit tangier and the closest thing that I could think of was a mixture of mayo and mustard. After a bit of experimenting I came to a ratio of 3 parts mayo to 1 part mustard and I was ready to go. I was planning on toasting up the baguette slices but the baguette was so nice and fresh that it seemed a shame so I served it as is with its slightly crisp and chewy crust and its melt in your mouth soft inside. The sweet onion chutney went so well with the salty peameal bacon and tangy mayo mustard that had a perfect amount of bite to finish everything off. The only problem with this crostini was that it disappeared too quickly. Next time I will have to double it and only bring out half. That way there will be lots of leftovers. 🙂 The day after I made a peameal bacon, onion chutney and mayo mustard sandwich which was also really good.

You think it disappeared too quickly do you? Well, hand me a plate, I'll show you disappear quickly.

The crostini looks delicious but not quite sure what peameal bacon is??
Love the picture! Love the crostini too!
Peameal bacon is new. Never heard of it. The final app looks like a quick eat. So quick, you wouldn't see them all disappear.
This looks so delicious! No wonder it disappeared quickly 🙂

The onion chutney sounds great.
Trissa & The Duo Dishes: peameal bacon is a brined back bacon that is rolled in peameal or cornmeal.
Mmm, bacon chutney. Mmm, bacon. Bet this is so awesome on pork.
Happy New Year, Kevin! I've been out of the country and haven't had a chance to stop by, but I can see you've been busy cooking. This looks delicious, as always! You're the master.
Jeeze Kev, that plate looks fantastic! I can almost taste the tang of the mayo and the slight saltiness of the bacon.
Did you cure the bacon yourself and if so, what cut of pork did you use? I've been wanting to cure a pork lork bacon style.
Kevin, this is a terrific appetizer. I love your Onion Chutney recipe, too. Many thanks…
these look delicious! i'm so glad i found your blog.. when i saw the title i was like, "oh goodness, is this person a secret chef??" hehe.
i have a closet sized kitchen too!
I have been reading your blog for a long time and want to let you know I think your meals look absolutely fabulous. You obviously put a lot of time and money into making them.
My idea of the perfect appetizer – yum!
Chris: Not I did not cure the bacon. Curing bacon is on my to do list though!
