If you want a “WOW” recipe for company or just for a special evening for yourself, give this recipe a try. If you don’t have a mandoline, a sharp knife and some patience would be imperative. Next time, and there definitely will be a next time, I’ll just strip the thyme off the sprigs and sprinkle it around. It looked pretty placed whole on top but I think the flavor would be enhanced by taking the leaves off the sprigs. The big change I made from the original recipe was adding in the pancetta-it was a good add!
