FLAMBE SPINACH SALAD

Category: Salad

1/2 cup malt vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup raw sugar or packed light brown sugar
1-1/ tsp lemon juice
1-1/ tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp brandy
4 oz sliced bacon, crisp-cooked, drained and crumbled
10 to 12 cups torn fresh spinach
1 hard-cooked egg, chopped
Sliced sweet red onion (optional)

For dressing, in a bowl, mix vinegar, sugars, juice, and Worcestershire.

In a medium skillet, warm brandy. Remove from heat; carefully ignite brandy. After flames die out, add dressing and bacon; return to heat and heat until just bubbly. Pour over the spinach and toss until the spinach begins to wilt. (Do not over toss, or spinach will cook.)

Divide salad among 6 chilled salad plates. Garnish with egg and red onion, if you like. Serves 4-6
