Antonio Caluccio's Savoy Cabbage with Pancetta
Bacon, especially if it's smoked, gives an excellent flavour to vegetables, and cabbage is the perfect companion. This dish is excellent with all roast meats. Make sure you find a good, firm Savoy cabbage with plenty of white heart, although the outer green leaves are very tasty too.
