Pancetta Sage Wrapped Chipolatas Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Lay a slice of pancetta on a board and place a sage leaf lengthways on top. Roll a chipolata up in the pancetta and sage, and transfer to a roasting tin with the end of the pancetta underneath. Repeat with the remaining pancetta, sage and chipolatas, and roast for 30-35 mins.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put 1 slice of pancetta on a chopping board and stretch out using the back of a knife. Put 1 sage leaf and 1 sausage on top, and roll the sausage up on the diagonal, covering all of it. Put on a lightly greased baking sheet and repeat with the remaining sausages. Can be prepared and chilled 2 days ahead. Cook for 20-25 mins until crisp and cooked through.

Steps:

• Cook pancetta in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and 1 tablespoon sage and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in chestnuts and remove from heat.
• Cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water according to package directions. Reserve 1 1/2 cups cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander and add to pancetta mixture in skillet. Add 1 cup reserved cooking water along with cheese and butter and cook, tossing constantly, over high heat until pasta is well coated (add more reserved water if necessary), about 1 minute. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve sprinkled with parsley and remaining tablespoon sage.

Steps:

• Prepare cilantro oil by pureeing cilantro, canola oil, honey, lime juice, and salt to taste until smooth; pour into a bowl or bottle, and set aside.
• Prepare the chipotle vinaigrette by pureeing the chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, lemon juice, rice vinegar, and garlic in a blender until smooth. With the blender running, slowly pour in the canola oil, and puree until creamy. Season to taste with salt, and set aside.
• Preheat a grill for medium heat.
• Cut the pancetta slices in half. Wrap a half slice of pancetta around each shrimp to cover. Grill until the pancetta has crisped, and the shrimp has turned opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
• To serve, arrange cooked shrimp on a warmed serving platter or individual plates, and drizzle with chipotle vinaigrette and cilantro oil.
