Pancetta is essentially an unsmoked bacon. If you prefer a smoky flavor, go ahead and use a few strips bacon instead. Whichever you choose, the technique of using a small amount of meat to punch up your favorite vegetable is a fantastic way to transition to including more produce in your diet without letting go of the meaty flavors you love.
Ingredients
- 4 oz. pancetta, chopped
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 lb. asparagus, cut into 2" pieces
- 1¼ cups thinly sliced leeks
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp. orange zest
- 2 Tbsp. toasted pine nuts
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
- Pepper to taste
Directions
- In a large, non-stick pan over medium heat, sauté pancetta, stirring frequently, until fat is rendered and pancetta is crispy (8-10 minutes).
- Add oil, asparagus, and leek. Sauté until asparagus is just tender (3-4 minutes).
- Add garlic, zest, toasted pine nuts, and parsley. Sauté until fragrant (1 minute).
- Season to taste with pepper and serve immediately.
