Sicilian Spring Onion & Pancetta

Some things in this world are just meant to be together. No other country knows this more than Italy. In Sicily, the clever locals have been enjoying a combination of spring onion wrapped in pancetta for many years. A simple street food that pairs the fragrance of green/spring onion and salty pancetta.

Instructions

  1. Wrap each onion tightly in the pancetta and set aside. If you don't have large spring onions, bundle 3 thin ones together and wrap tightly.
  2. Heat a large pan over a medium/high heat with a little oil and place 3 of the onions into the pan.Cook for 8 minutes, turning once or twice during the cook to crisp up the pancetta on all sides.TIP: if you're using fat onions; after 2 minutes, pop on a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes to allow the onions to cook through. Remove the lid and fry as normal for the remaining 2-3 minutes to crisp up the pancetta.
  3. Arrange the onions on a baking tray and repeat with the remaining onions. Keep hot in a warm oven. When all the onions are cooked, serve immediately as they are with no other adornments.
