Warm Rocket Salad
- 2 medium red onions
- 8 whole rashers (slices) pancetta or smoked streaky bacon
- Olive oil
- 4 sprigs thyme
- A good handful pine nuts
- 4 big handfuls rocket (arugula)
- Balsamic vinegar
- A piece of Parmesan, for shaving
- Peel, halve, and quarter the onions then quarter again, to give you 8 pieces from each onion.
- Heat a frying pan and fry off the rashers of pancetta until crisp.
- Add a couple of lugs of olive oil to the pan, and add the sprigs of thyme, the onions, and pine nuts with a pinch of salt.
- Toss around and fry on a medium heat for about 5 minutes until caramelized and sweet (not black!
- ).
- Then, throw everything into a salad bowl with the rocket or any nice salad leaves.
- Drizzle generously with balsamic vinegar, this will make a natural dressing as it mixes with the olive oil.
- Serve with some shaved Parmesan over the top, you can use a potato peeler to do this.
- Munch away.
