  • Meanwhile, for cabbage and pancetta, stir oil and pancetta in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until beginning to crisp (2-3 minutes), add shallot and garlic, stir occasionally until tender (2-3 minutes). Add cabbage, stir until wilted (4-5 minutes), add vinegar, lemon juice, parsley and parmesan, season to taste and serve hot with pork cutlets.
