Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
- 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.

- Preparation of the Cranberry Beans: Place all of the ingredients in a heavy sauce pan, except the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, turn down and simmer slowly for twenty minutes. Add salt and finish cooking process, approximately five to ten minutes. Cool beans in juice. Once cold, remove aromatics and take the beans out. Refrigerate beans, but do not discard the cooking juices.
- Preparation of the Lettuce: Slice the Pancetta as thin as possible on a meat slicer and wrap lettuce with it. Heat a heavy skillet with olive oil and let smoke lightly. Add the wrapped lettuce and garlic cloves and turn down heat to cook until golden brown to create crispy lettuce. Remove from oil and reserve at room temperature. Discard half of the oil and the garlic cloves. Reserve half of the oil in the pan.
- Preparation of the Porcini Mushrooms: Slice the cleaned mushrooms into thick slices. Season well and brush with olive oil.
- Grill well on both sides until mushrooms are tender, about three minutes per side depending on the size. Keep warm.
- Preparation of the Vinaigrette: Heat the oil from cooking the lettuce in a skillet, add leaves of oregano until they fry. Add brown chicken sauce, sherry vinegar, and olive oil.
- Serve hot over the mushrooms, beans, and lettuce.
