150 g pancetta, rind removed, diced (keep the rind)
6 garlic cloves, finely sliced
9 sage leaves, finely shredded
1 bunch of parsley, stalks, finely chopped (leaves shredded and reserved for later)
1 x 400 g tin whole peeled tomatoes
2 x 400 g tins cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

1 litre chicken stock
1 celeriac, peeled and diced

METHOD
- Heat olive oil in a large pot on medium-high heat, induction setting 7.
- Add onion, carrot and celery. Season with salt and gently sauté for 10 minutes.
- Add pancetta and continue to sauté for a further 10 minutes.
- Add garlic, sage and parsley stalks, sauté for an additional 5 minutes.
- Using your hands, squash the whole peeled tomatoes and add them to the pan, cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add two-thirds of the beans, half the cavalo nero, chicken stock and celeriac. Add the reserved pancetta rind and parmesan rind if using.
