• Add Pancetta -- saute on low-med heat until starting to crisp up.
• Add White wine and scrape up bits of pancetta and garlic/shallots until starting to reduce.

Steps:

• Prepare cilantro oil by pureeing cilantro, canola oil, honey, lime juice, and salt to taste until smooth; pour into a bowl or bottle, and set aside.
• Prepare the chipotle vinaigrette by pureeing the chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, lemon juice, rice vinegar, and garlic in a blender until smooth. With the blender running, slowly pour in the canola oil, and puree until creamy. Season to taste with salt, and set aside.
