Radishes & pancetta on ricotta toasts
When cooked, radishes turn deliciously soft and juicy. They lose a bit of their pepperiness too, creating an excellent foil for strong flavours – in this case, salty smoked pancetta, rosemary and balsamic vinegar. This is a great quick lunch or brunch.

Ingredients
- 77g pack Cooks' Ingredients Smoked Pancetta
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 200g Essential Radishes, quartered
- 1 tbsp finely chopped rosemary
- 2 clove/s garlic, finely sliced
- 1½ tsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 slice/s fresh sourdough
- 4 tbsp ricotta
Method
Put the pancetta and oil in a cold frying pan set over a medium heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes so the fat renders out and the pancetta begins to turn golden, then add the radishes so they sit more or less in one layer. Fry for 3 minutes more, allowing the radishes to take on a little colour. Reduce the heat to low-medium, add the rosemary and garlic, then toss and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the balsamic vinegar; season.
While the radishes are cooking, toast the sourdough. Spread each slice with a thick swoosh of ricotta. Spoon the contents of the pan over the ricotta. Eat while still warm.
