Crisp pancetta surrounds the melted Brie to make a decadent accompaniment to the cabbage and apple side.

200g whole Brie
24 thin slices pancetta or streaky bacon, rind removed
50g unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 Granny Smith apple, grated
1/2 (about 500g) savoy cabbage, finely sliced

Method

1.

Preheat the oven to 220°C.
2.

Cover brie with enough pancetta slices so they slightly overlap and completely enclose the cheese. Freeze for 10 minutes, then transfer to a baking dish and bake for 6-8 minutes or until pancetta is just crisp.
3.

Meanwhile, finely chop remaining pancetta slices. Melt butter and oil in a large pan over medium heat, then add onion and pancetta. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then add garlic and apple and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add cabbage and cook, stirring, for 5-6 minutes. Divide between plates and serve with some of the Brie.
