Note

This dressing is best served warm or at room temperature. If the sauce becomes too thick after cooling, whisk in a teaspoon of warm water to loosen it.

For a vegetarian version, omit the pork drippings and bacon, and use vegetable broth instead of drippings to deglaze the pan.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

This dressing pairs exceptionally well with sliced roasted pork loin, chicken, or over a simple mixed green salad with shaved fennel.
