1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary
Grated zest of one Sorrento Lemon

2. Swirl in the pan one minute, and remove from the heat. Allow to cool and steep for at least 1 hour.
3. Pour into a bottle and seal, refrigerate until needed, or proceed. This will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
For the Focaccia
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3 1/2 cups Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1/2 cup rosemary, lemon zest oil (above) 1 cup Concord seedless grapes, halved or quartered if large 1/4 cup golden raisins 1 tablespoon fleur de sel for finishing Lightly grease a 9″ x 13″ pan, and drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons Rosemary Lemon zest oil in the bottom.
Combine the water, salt, flour, yeast, and 2 tablespoons oil, beat at high speed with an electric mixer for 60 seconds.
Scoop the sticky batter into the prepared pan, cover the pan with plastic wrap, and let it rise at room temperature for 60 minutes, till it becomes puffy.
While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 375°F.
Gently poke the dough all over with your index finger creating dimples and arrange the grapes and raisins over the top, drizzle with more oil and sprinkle with some fleur de sel.
Bake the bread till it’s golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
Remove it from the oven, wait 5 minutes, then turn it out of the pan onto a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Assorted Radishes with unsalted butter, on baguettes
Serves 3
One baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch slices
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
5 radishes, scrubbed, thinly sliced and cut into pieces that will fit the baguettes
Cyprus sea salt or Fleur de Sel

Slow Sauteed Spigarello Broccoli with Garlic
Serves 4 to 6
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, sliced
One bunch spigarello broccoli, stems trimmed, and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
salt and pepper
In a large saute pan, heat the oil and saute the garlic for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broccoli, broth and season with salt and pepper. Turn the broccoli in the broth and garlic oil to coat. Cover and slow simmer for 10 minutes, turn the broccoli, cover and cook another 5 minutes. Remove the cover, and cook another 5 minutes, to evaporate some of the liquid in the bottom of the pan. Serve the broccoli as a bed for roasted meats, grilled fish, or chicken.

1 cup blackberries

8 tablespoons cold butter, cut into 1/2-inch bits

In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Work in the butter with a pastry blender, or your fingertips until it begins to form a crumble. Stir in the pecans, and crumble over the fruit in the baking dish. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Serve with vanilla ice cream.
