After some trial and error, I created this recipe!"Pichitto" absorbent sheets are amazing. I buy them online.I use a lot of dried thyme, oregano, and rosemary to make this. The aroma is really nice.

Growing up I love vegetables. But nowadays the kids are very difficult at eating vegetables. I combined some of the old style cooking of my family attempting to have my children eat vegetables. I make the same recipe with bacon which, I'll write up a recipe for separately as the ingredients are a little different.

Home-made Pancetta Made from Thinly Sliced Pork Home-made Pancetta Made from Thinly Sliced Pork
Pancetta is so tasty. I want to use it, but it is very expensive! You can make it from a pork belly block, but it takes time, and it's difficult to thinly slice!With some resolve, it is possible to make something like pancetta using thinly sliced pork belly. It does not have the rich taste of fully cured pancetta, but is delicious enough for casual uses.This recipe is not designed for preservation, so try to use the pancetta within 3~4 days, or freeze it for later use. If you use thickly cut pork belly, make sure to sandwich it between two or more paper towels.Use herb salt, crazy salt, or your own choice of herbs. Recipe by Okanyan -
Extremely Delicious Homemade Pancetta Extremely Delicious Homemade Pancetta
I saw this recipe in a bookstore somewhere, and tried making it from memory and it was a huge success I was a little worried about the relatively small portion of salt at first, but it's worked well every time I've made it.I used water-absorbent sheets that absorb grease and water quite well. I think you can also use kitchen wipes (like thick paper towels) as well. There are recipes that require more salt, producing pancetta that keeps longer, but with this recipe you won't need to de-salt the meat afterwards. The ingredient amounts listed are also enough to give the pork a good strong flavor. Just make sure to cook it through before eating. Recipe by Miruneko -
Pancetta and Basil Pitta Pizza Pancetta and Basil Pitta Pizza
I was looking for a quick and easy pizza recipe, when I came across one one BBC's Good Food website. I didn't have all the topping ingredients that the recipe called for. I did have one of my favourite meat ingredients (pancetta), but didn't know what I could put on with it. In the end I decided to just leave it, and added basil since I kept forgetting to sprinkle mixed herbs on the purée before the cheese. I usually make two when I make this.
