Asparagus and Pancetta
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus trimmed
- 3-4 oz pancetta or high-quality bacon, chopped
- 1 lemon Meyer if possible
- Pepper to taste
Equipment
- WFO fired to pizza temps
- A heavy skillet preferably well-seasoned cast iron
Instructions
- Place the pancetta in the skillet and put the skillet into the hot oven. The intense heat will quickly render the fat and crisp the pancetta. Once the fat is rendered, carefully remove the pan.
- Add the asparagus to the hot pan and stir to coat with the rendered fat. Place it back into the oven and roast until the asparagus begins to brown (approx. 3 minutes).
- Remove the pan from the oven and add the juice of one lemon to the hot pan. Stir to coat and serve.
