Pancetta ile cipollat

Cipollate con pancetta is a traditional Sicilian appetizer originating from Catania. This simple dish is made with a combination of trimmed scallions, pancetta slices, oil, salt, and pepper. In order to prepare the dish, two or three scallions are wrapped in a strip of pancetta and seasoned with salt and pepper. The bunches are then cooked in oil over medium-high heat until the scallions and pancetta are crisp and browned on all sides. Cipollate catanesi are traditionally served hot and they can be found in many butcher shops in Sicily.
