Treat your ingredients with care...
- Bacon — Choose thick-cut bacon for better wrapping and flavor.
- Ground pork — Opt for lean ground pork to reduce the fat content without compromising taste.
- Nutmeg — Use freshly grated nutmeg for a more intense and aromatic flavor.

- For a smoky flavor, try using smoked bacon.
- If you prefer a spicier taste, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the pork mixture.
- To ensure the bacon stays crispy, avoid overcrowding the skillet while cooking the Slavinks.
- Serve with a dollop of tangy mustard for an extra kick.
- Leftover Slavinks can be refrigerated and enjoyed cold as a tasty snack.

Serve the Slavinks hot alongside creamy mashed potatoes and a side of seasonal vegetables for a complete Dutch meal.
