Pancetta-Wrapped Peaches - cjs - 09-07-2009
Oh, this is a wonderful appy - I played with it yesterday. Let a few chill and tried heating them in a 375° oven, but the peaches got a little too mushy, so this one needs to be prepped ahead (maybe a couple of hours, sauteed and served immediately.

Pancetta-Wrapped Peaches with Basil and Aged Balsamic
16 thin slices pancetta
2 medium freestone peaches-halved -- pitted and cut into 8 wedges each
Salt and freshly ground pepper
16 basil leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil
Aged balsamic vinegar -- for drizzling
Lay the pancetta slices out on a work surface. Set a peach wedge at the edge of each slice, season with salt and pepper and top with a basil leaf. Roll up the pancetta to enclose the peaches.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil. Add half of the wrapped peaches and cook over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until the pancetta is browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a platter and repeat with the remaining peaches.
Lightly drizzle the peaches with aged balsamic vinegar and serve.
Description:
"Stuart Brioza, chef at San Francisco's Rubicon restaurant, sears sweet summer peaches in pancetta with fresh basil leaves for a crispy, juicy hors d'oeuvre. They would also be an unexpected addition to a frisée or baby escarole salad."

MMMMMMM! This one is copied and saved...to make as soon as I can get my hands on pancetta! "They would also be an unexpected addition to a frisée or baby escarole salad." This part sounds especially good!

This is a little bit like the peaches appy I posted, right? I used ready to eat bacon and it was quick and easy too. Yum, I like the idea of the balsamic too
