Warm rocket salad Approx time: 20 Difficulty: easy Ingredients 2 medium red onions 8 rashers higher-welfare pancetta or smoked streaky bacon 2 lugs olive oil 4 sprigs thyme 1 good handful pine nuts 1 tiny pinch salt 4 big handfuls rocket balsamic vinegar Parmesan Method 1)Peel, halve and quarter 2 medium red onions, then quarter again, to give you 8 pieces from each onion. 2) Heat a frying pan and fry off 8 whole rashers of pancetta or smoked streaky bacon until crisp. Remove, add a couple of lugs of olive oil to the pan, and add 4 sprigs of thyme, the onions and a good handful of pine nuts with a tiny pinch of salt. Toss around and fry on a medium heat for about 5 minutes until caramelized and sweet (not black). 3)Put your pancetta or bacon back into the pan, toss around, then throw everything into a salad bowl with 4 big handfuls of 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.
