    Title: Slow-Cooker Butter Beans w/Pecorino & Pancetta
    Categories: Beans, Pork, Cheese, Citrus
    Yield: 4 servings

    8 oz Dried gigante, butter (lima)
    - or other large beans;
    - soaked overnight, drained
    3 c Chicken broth
    1 tb Olive oil
    6 cl Garlic; smashed, chopped
    1 ts Black pepper; more for
    - seasoning
    4 oz Pancetta, guanciale or thick
    - cut bacon; in 1/2" to 1"
    - batons
    Juice of 1/2 lemon (2 tb)
    1/2 c (1 3/4 oz) grated pecorino;
    - more for serving

    Stir together the beans, broth, olive oil, garlic and 1
    teaspoon of the pepper in a 6 to 8 quart slow cooker.
    Cover and cook on low until the beans are tender, about
    7 hours.

    Put the pancetta in a skillet over medium heat. Cook,
    stirring often, until the pork has rendered most of its
    fat and is deep golden brown and crunchy in spots, about
    10 minutes. (You may need to lower the heat to
    medium-low and/or add a spoonful of water to keep the
    pork from scorching as the fat renders.)

    Add the pork and its fat, the lemon juice and the
    pecorino into the beans in the slow cooker. Stir
    vigorously until the pecorino has completely melted and
    the sauce has become smooth and emulsified, lightly
    coating the back of a spoon. Taste and add more pepper
    if you like. Pass more pecorino and pepper at the table.
