Pancetta and Allioli Bocadillo

Pancetta, that cheap cut of meat that can be bought either cured or uncured. For this Spanish bocadillo or "sandwich" we are using thinly cut slices of cured pancetta. Similar to streaky bacon the pancetta is lightly fried in olive oil before being arranged with fresh vine tomatoes and allioli. A very Spanish mid morning snack!

You will need:

1 French stick of bread
100g Cured pancetta cut into thin slices
1 Vine tomato
1 Baby lettuce
Allioli
Olive oil

Method

• Cut the bread into the desired size for the bocadillo.

• In a frying pan, pour a little olive oil and heat gently before adding the pancetta strips.

• Meanwhile arrange lettuce over the bread and add the tomatoes on top.

• When the pancetta is fried and crispy place the strips on top of the tomatoes.

• Add a little black pepper if desired.

• Add a generous spoonful of allioli and close the bocadillo.

Enjoy!
