pancetta piece at any good Italian Deli ..in the Deli section 2. I use a good heavy based Casserole - Bessemer Pot for this recipe |

5 mins add your whole piece of pancetta + spoon in tomato concentrato 2. Make up your chicken stock & add to pan with frozen peas + parmigiano rind – stir 3. Bring all to the boil 4.

| Serving Suggestions | |
1. Add some boiled
pastina or rice to this dish when you serve it up. 2. The more adventurous can add croutons! 3. Grate/shaved parmigiano on top to taste! 4. If you can’t find pancetta…you can use bacon. Never throw away the rind to your parmigiano. 5. You can freeze them & add them to many soups for added flavour or place in extra virgin olive oil for bread dipping. 6. Once again…another recipe you can freeze! Buon appetito! |
