Uccellini Scappati
INGREDIENTS:
      - 500 gr sliced Pork Loin
      - 12 slices of Pancetta
      - 12 Guanciale/Pancetta Lardons
      - Sage Leaves
      - Salt, Pepper
      - White Wine
      - Wooden Skewers
      - Butter
      - 250 gr Polenta  
      - Bay Leaf  
      - 60 gr Grated Parmesan
      - Olive Oil  
 
INSTRUCTIONS:
      1) To start, put on a pot of water for the polenta; for 200 gr of Polenta flour, you need 1lt of water on.
      2) Add salt to water (just a bit, not as much as you would for pasta), 2 spoons of olive oil and the bay leaf; bring to the boil, reduce to simmer.
      3) Add the polenta flour and mix with a whisk, add the grated parmesan cheese and start to mix with a wooden spoon. It will need to cook for about 40-50 minutes while you mix now and then.
      4) For the Uccelletti, lay the slice of pork on a tray, salt and pepper them, put on each a sage leaf then roll them up; then roll the pork in the pancetta.
      5) When all the slices are done, take the skewers, put on a pork roll, then a piece of Lardon, then a Pork roll, again a lardon and again a Pork roll; sage leaf at the end for each.
      6) Each Skewer, 3 Pork rolls and 2 Lardons and a sage leaf.
      7) Heat up a pan on medium heat, add some oil to it, put in the Pork Skewers and colour a bit on both side, add the butter, cook for 5 minutes, deglaze with the white wine, cover with a lid then    cook 3-4 minutes.
      8) Scoop the polenta on a plate, add the Uccelletti Scappati, pour on top a bit of the sauce from the pan and enjoy!
