ingredients
- 6 slices streaky bacon
- 1 (15 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
- 1 large onion

directions
- Chop streaky bacon crosswise into small strips and fry until almost crispy. Remove from pan.

- Add finely chopped or pressed garlic into pan for last 5minutes.
- Add bacon back into pan, together with tomatoes, bay leaf, Tabasco, sun-dried tomato. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir in herbs and black paper for last minute or so.
