Maple smoked bacon, roast apples, leeks and wholegrain mustard

1 Set your oven to 185 degrees.

2 Put the bacon into a saucepan of cold water, bring to the boil and simmer gently for 50 minutes or so, until tender.

3 Meanwhile cut the leeks at an angle, 2cm thick, then wash them thoroughly.

4 Remove the core and cut the apples into six.

5 Place the leeks, potatoes and apples on a roasting tray, then coat in the rapeseed oil and melted butter.

6 Place the bacon in the centre of the veg, fat-side up.

7 Drizzle the syrup over the bacon then put in the oven for 20 minutes, turning once or twice so everything gets nicely golden.

8 Remove the bacon to rest, leaving the vegetables. Add the cider and mustard to the tray. Place on the hob and bring to a simmer for one minute to make a lovely syrupy glaze.

9 Slice the bacon and serve.
