Find delicately salty ricotta salata at cheese shops, or use fresh goat cheese. Ingredients 3 ounces thinly sliced pancetta ½ pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered lengthwise ¼ cup olive oil Coarse salt and ground pepper ¼ cup white-wine vinegar 1 head Boston lettuce (about 1 pound), torn into bite-size pieces 1 red Bartlett pear, halved, cored, and thinly sliced 2 ounces ricotta salata, thinly sliced Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. On a rimmed baking sheet, arrange pancetta in a single layer. Bake on lower rack until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain; set aside. On another rimmed baking sheet, toss Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Bake on upper rack until tender, 18 to 20 minutes, tossing once. In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar and remaining oil; season with salt and pepper. Add lettuce, pear, and Brussels sprouts; toss to combine. Divide among four serving plates, and top with ricotta salata and pancetta. Cook's Notes Try preparing pancetta in the oven for hands-off, even cooking. No need to line your baking sheet -- the pancetta's fat will keep it from sticking. The trick works for bacon, too! Rate it Print
