Fresh Tuscan Rosemary Wet Rub Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix black pepper, kosher salt, fresh rosemary, dried rosemary and garlic. Gradually stir in enough olive oil to form a thick paste. Rub into desired meats before grilling.

Steps:

• To make the rosemary and thyme simple syrup, add the granulated sugar, 2 sprigs or the rosemary, 2 sprigs of the thyme and the water to a small saucepan. Turn on the heat and bring to a gentle boil, then stir to dissolve the sugar. Turn off the heat and let it cool. Discard the rosemary and thyme. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month.
• Add the vodka, lemon juice and 2/3 cup of the rosemary and thyme simple syrup (or more if you like a sweeter cocktail!) into a cocktail shaker with ice.
• Mix together the superfine sugar and cayenne pepper then spread onto a plate. Run a lemon wedge around the rim of each glass and dip into the sugar and cayenne mixture. Fill each glass with ice, then divide the vodka lemonade between the 2 glasses. Garnish each glass with a sprig of rosemary and a sprig of thyme. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Use a knife to finely chop the herbs.
• Place in a food processor along with the garlic, salt and pepper.
• With the processor motor running, drizzle in the oil and process until smooth.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil and add a dash of salt. Cut the potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes. Place the potatoes into the boiling water for 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and then return them to the same pan.
• Place the butter, garlic and the thyme in with the potatoes and heat over a low flame until the garlic is just beginning to brown. Discard sprigs of thyme.
• Remove the potatoes from the heat and pour in the cream, salt, pepper, pecorino-Romano cheese and blue cheese. Use the back of a fork or a masher to lightly mash the ingredients together, leaving some lumps in the potatoes if desired.
• Place the potatoes into the bottom of a lightly greased 3-quart casserole dish.
• In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, rosemary and parsley. Spoon this mixture over the potatoes and bake the casserole, uncovered, in the oven for 20 minutes.
