  • Toss pears and fennel with oil, bake for 25 minutes or until pears are tender. Set aside.
  • Place hazelnuts and pancetta onto separate baking trays and roast until skins are blistering on nuts and pancetta is crisp, draining excess fat on paper towel. Rub skins from hazelnuts and roughly chop.
