How to Use Guanciale
Guanciale is especially popular in classic Italian pasta dishes. Cut or use the slices according to your recipe and cook gently over medium-low heat. The fat slowly renders and becomes the flavourful foundation of the dish.
It is traditionally used in:
Pasta Carbonara
Amatriciana
Gricia
Pasta sauces and creamy pasta
Gourmet pizzas
Sandwiches and paninis
Salads and vegetable dishes
Soups and stews
Gourmet breakfast dishes
Chef's Tip: Start with a cold pan and cook the Guanciale slowly. This allows the fat to render properly and gives the meat a deliciously crisp texture.
