YIELDS: 4 serving(s) PREP TIME: 15 mins TOTAL TIME: 4 hrs  CAL/SERV: 573

INGREDIENTS: 4 oz. pancetta, finely chopped 1/2 c. extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for grill 3 assorted plums (such as black, dinosaur, or red), cut into wedges Kosher salt 2 (1"-thick) slices sourdough bread (about 6 oz.) 2 scallions, sliced, green and white parts separated 1/4 c. fresh lemon juice 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil 2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup 2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme leaves 1 tsp. Dijon mustard 5 oz. arugula 4 oz. cherry tomatoes, halved 2 oz. goat cheese, crumbled

Step 1: Arrange the pancetta in a single layer in a large, chilly skillet. Cook for approximately 15 minutes over medium heat, stirring from time to time, or until pancetta is crisp and browned. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels using a slotted spoon. Pour the rendered fat, roughly 2 tablespoons, into a small bowl that can withstand heat.

DIRECTIONS:

Step 2: Preheat the grill for five minutes on medium-high heat. Grates should be cleaned and oiled. Pour two tablespoons of oil over the plums in a big basin, sprinkle with half a teaspoon of salt, and toss to coat. Place the plum slices with the flesh side facing down on the grill. Grill for about 2 minutes on each side, or until charred but not burned, flipping once. Move to a platter.

Step 3: Apply two teaspoons of oil all over the bread slices. Grill for two to three minutes on each side, flipping regularly, or until golden brown in between grill marks and charred on the edges. After allowing the bread to cool slightly, tear it into pieces that range from 3/4" to 1".

Step 4: Process the white parts of the scallions, lemon juice, basil, syrup, thyme, and mustard in a food processor; add 1/2 teaspoon of salt for seasoning. Process till smooth. Run the engine while gradually adding the remaining 1/4 cup oil and rendered fat until it becomes emulsified, which should take around 20 seconds.

Step 5: Add arugula to a large bowl. Add pancetta, grilled plums, shredded bread, scallions, tomatoes, and cheese on top. Pour half of the dressing over and toss to coat. Serve with the leftover dressing on the side.
