Method
- In a large frying pan, melt the butter over a medium-high heat. When it starts to foam, add the peach quarters and rosemary, then fry for 5-8 minutes until the peaches start to colour and soften. Season with salt, then transfer to a large salad plate or bowl.
- Return the pan to the heat, then add the pancetta slices and fry for 5-8 minutes until crisp and golden. Remove to kitchen paper.
- For the vinaigrette, put the shallot, vinegar, sugar, mustard and dill in a jug and mix with a balloon whisk. Slowly whisk in the oil, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add the chicory, olives, mozzarella and pancetta to the peaches, drizzle over the dressing and gently toss.
