This sumptuous new potatoes with pancetta recipe from Shaun Rankin makes a great summertime accompaniment. The inclusion of squid is a masterstroke, giving the dish a real depth of flavour and texture.
Lay the pancetta slices on a baking tray and lay another baking tray on top to flatten. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the pancetta is crisp and golden brown
Set the pancetta aside until completely cool, still sandwiched between the trays - this will keep the pancetta flat as it cools
4
Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium frying pan and fry the onions over a medium heat for 5 minutes, or until browned all over
2 tbsp of olive oil
2 red onions, peeled and cut into quarters
5
Lay a sheet of foil over a baking tray and place the onion wedges and garlic in the centre. Drizzle over 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle over the thyme leaves and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Fold the foil over to make a parcel and seal the edges
Bake the parcel for 15 minutes, or until the onions have softened. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly
7
Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in a saucepan of boiling water for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain the potatoes and place them in cold water to stop the cooking process
Heat some of the butter in a medium frying pan and fry the potatoes for 5 minutes, or until golden brown all over
20g of unsalted butter
9
Cut the squid body in half lengthways. Lay the sheets of squid flat, then score a criss-cross pattern onto it using a sharp knife. Cut the sheets into strips and discard the tentacles
Heat the remaining oil in a medium frying pan over a high heat and quickly fry the squid until opaque - this will take around 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and stir in the rest of the butter and the lemon juice
Place the potatoes in the centre of a large serving plate. Take the onion wedges and separate each layer to make petals. Scatter these around the potatoes
12
Squeeze the garlic out of the skins, place in a bowl and squash to make a purée. Arrange blobs of the purée over the salad and scatter over the crisp pancetta, squid and thyme leaves. Drizzle with the maple syrup and serve
