Background

This Cavolo nero with Pancetta is ready in just 10 minutes and can be served as a side dish (for example with roasted poultry or game) or with pasta or in a wrap. It’s very delicious as the salty Pancetta really complements the earthy, nutty flavours of the black cabbage.

Ingredients

100g pancetta (cubed)
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, sliced
1 head Cavolo Nero
Juice of half a lemon
Ground pepper

Instructions

Heat the oil in frying pan, add the pancetta and cook until crispy.
Meanwhile slice the Cavolo nero into thin ribbons (remove the thick part of the central stalks). Rinse
under running water, then drain.
Add the garlic to the pancetta and stir for a few seconds. Add the rinsed Cavolo nero and the lemon juice. Stir and put a lid on. Turn down the heat and gently simmer for 5 minutes, until the leaves are just tender.
Season with freshly ground pepper and serve.
