Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Grill and open flame. Keep sleeves, hair and tea towels away from the flame, and stay with the grill while it's lit. Barbecue outdoors only, never in a closed space.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Preheat grill or broiler.
  2. To prepare red onion marmalade, place chopped red onions, Lambrusco, orange juice and sugar in a saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, lower heat to medium and reduce until thick like marmalade, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  3. Place Pancetta slices on grill and cook until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes per side, and remove to a cutting board. Grill bread slices until golden-brown and remove to serving platter. Smear 3 tablespoons red onion marmalade on each slice of bread. Chop warm Pancetta into 1/4-inch cubes and divide among the 4 pieces of bread and serve immediately.
