Garlic and rosemary focaccia

Deliciously crisp, garlicky and salty.

I used some leftover pizza dough and pressed it flat with my fingers, then brushed over some of the luxuriant organic EV olive oil that Bruno's parents buy for us in Tuscany every year, into which I had crushed a couple of cloves of garlic, needles of rosemary and a good crunching sprinkling of flaky sea salt and grinding of pepper.

I baked it at a high heat until golden, blistered and smelling fantastic.

It got devoured in about 2 seconds flat!

First grill of the season

The weather was outstanding on the weekend, and we took the opportunity to have a bbq last night.

Cervelats, potato salad, nusslisalat (lamb's lettuce, or rampon), garlic focaccia, plus ketchup and mustards of varying strengths.
