2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 ounces pancetta, diced

Steps:

Heat a fireplace to medium heat. Adjust the grill racks over the flame and heat a heavy Dutch oven over the rack. Alternatively, heat a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Once hot, add the oil to the saucepan. Add the pancetta and render some of its fat. Add the rosemary and garlic, and saute until fragrant. Stir in the beans, lemon juice and some salt and pepper. Mash the beans with the back of a wooden spoon. Don't mash them all smooth, you want some texture.
Toast the baguette slices. Serve the beans on top of the toasted baguette. Drizzle with olive oil if desired.

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup white bread, edges trimmed and the bread cut into 1/2 inch/ 1 cm cubes
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons pure wesson canola oil
1 clove garlic, peeled,washed and crushed
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
salt

Steps:

Trim the crusts from the slices of bread.
Cut into 1/2 inch (1cm) cubes.
Keep aside.
Heat oil in a skillet or frying pan on moderately low flame.
While the oil is heating, crush the clove of garlic and rosemary, separately, using your mortar and pestle.
You can also crumble the rosemary between the palms of your hands if you like.
I personally like to crush it to bring out the flavour to the fullest.
Now, add the crushed garlic to the moderately hot oil and cook for a minute, stirring continuously until it is golden.
Remove the garlic.
Toss in the bread cubes and crushed/crumbled rosemary.
Cook these awesome croutons, tossing lightly, until they are lightly browned all over.
Sprinkle with salt to taste.
Remove from the skillet or pan and transfer onto paper towels to drain.
Serve over soup (if they last that long!).

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 pound mixed heirloom tomatoes
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, best quality
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, best quality
Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chiffonade
1 head romaine, inner leaves only
1 1/2 cups micro greens
1/2 cup daikon radish sprouts
1/2 cup Gorgonzola cheese crumbles
Rosemary Crostini, for serving, recipe follows
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried Italian parsley
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
6 (1/2-inck) thick slices good sourdough or dense French bread

Steps:

Dice the tomatoes into 3/4-inch pieces, place in a bowl and add the olive oil, balsamic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and basil. Toss gently to combine. Adjust the seasoning if, needed.
Line a serving plate with the romaine leaves, like taco shells. Fill each with 1/4 cup micro greens, 1/2 to 3/4 cup tomato mixture and a few daikon sprouts. Top with Gorgonzola, a sprinkle of salt and a crack of black pepper. Garnish the plate with Rosemary Crostini Croutons. Serve immediately.
Preheat a grill to high heat. Combine the olive oil, garlic, basil, parsley, rosemary, salt and pepper in a small bowl and allow to sit 10 to 15 minutes, covered, at room temperature.
Cut the bread slices diagonally. Lightly brush 1 side of the bread triangles with the oil mix and place oiled-side up on the grill. Grill 2 to 3 minutes, flip and cook until nicely marked, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove, dice into 3/4-inch cubes with a serrated knife and serve hot.
Cook's Note: Can be premade and quickly reheated in a broiler for 45 seconds to 1 minute.
