Blanched sprouts, green beans and leek with pancetta

Background

If you’re after an easy but tasty side dish that goes well with Roast Turkey, Goose or chicken try this Blanched sprouts, green beans and leek with pancetta. The blanching can be done hours ahead, then you’ll just warm it up with the crispy bacon. It’s really simple, yet a perfect side dish on the Christmas or other festive dining table.

Ingredients

250g sprouts
2 leeks
150g green beans
50g pine nuts
100g cubetti di pancetta

Instructions

Clean then cut the sprouts in half.
Trim off the ends of the beans, then cut them in half. Clean the leeks and cut them into 1cm thick slices.
Blanch the vegetables in boiling water for a couple of minutes ( or steam them over boiling water) then rinse them with cold water. Cover with a tea towel until needed.
Dry-fry the pine nuts and put aside.
Cook the pancetta in a frying pan until crispy then add the blanched/steamed vegetables to heat up.
Transfer the mixture into a serving dish, and scatter the pine nuts over it.

Tips

You can steam the vegetables if you prefer!
