Eating vegetarian (almost)

While I am not a vegetarian, I enjoy eating plant-based meals often. But from time to time I like to add a little bit of pancetta (unsmoked, Italian-style bacon) to my recipes. I keep it on hand in my refrigerator, as just a little bit goes a long way to flavor and lend substance to a variety of dishes. Chicken broth also helps lend depth to my otherwise vegetarian recipes, but vegetable broth will also work.
