- 2 slices sliced sourdough
- 2 tbsp cupi mayo
Set up about a half chimney of charcoal over half the grill for a moderate two-zone fire; put the grate on and preheat.
Setting up a two-zone charcoal fire
Grill the bacon, managing flare-ups by moving and rotating it between zones rather than adjusting the coals; render it crisp without blackening.
As the bacon finishes, soak up the rendered fat with the sourdough slices and toast them on the grill, about 30 seconds per side or longer for a softer centre.
- sambal oelek
Spread the mayo and a little sambal oelek directly on the bread.
