Pane Carasau with Rosemary

Pane Carasau, Rosemary, Olives, Pecorino - sprinkled with Olsson's Sea Salt Flakes

I love Sardinia’s crisp flatbread, called carta di musica or, in dialect, pane carasau – especially the way chef Giovanni Pilu serves it at Pilu at Freshwater. He brushes it with olive oil, sprinkles it with salt and rosemary and crisps it up in the oven. Add a few olives, a chunk of Pecorino and glass of vermentino – like the easy-drinking one from Lowe Family Wine Co. in Mudgee – and I just might forget about the rest of dinner! Inspired by Giovanni, you could always make your own ricotta-style cheese to serve too (see video below).

Serves 2 as antipasti

Ingredients
  • 2 sheets pane carasau
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Salt flakes, to taste
  • 1 sprig rosemary, leaves picked
  • Olives, for serving
  • Pecorino Sardo, for serving
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (355°F).
  2. Place pane carasau on a baking tray.
  3. Brush with oil.
  4. Sprinkle with salt and rosemary.
  5. Bake for 5-8 minutes, until well coloured.
  6. Break into pieces and serve with olives, Pecorino and a glass of vermentino or your favourite aperitivo.

We made the pot-sticker dumplings and bang bang chicken from the Chinese class the other night. Once again both exceeded our expectations. My husband keeps saying it’s better than going out to restaurants as the recipes and quality are amazing.

Thank you for stocking our pantry with such authentic Ingredients and quality produce. We really like the flexibility of cooking over a couple of days and changing the order we cook the dishes in when we want to. And I love listening to the themed playlist while cooking.

I am absolutely loving Be Inspired! There are ingredients I have never worked with before so having the confidence to try something new is so much fun! The recipes are just amazing and the notes on what can be prep’d beforehand are a great help too. Thank you so much.

Awesome fun traveling through Emilia-Romagna experiencing first hand some of the produce I've worked with over the last couple of years cooking with Roberta's classes – the family are reaping the benefits now.

Food, wine and travel! Three of my favourite things! Be Inspired with Roberta has been a wonderful experience and given me more confidence in the kitchen. I have learnt so much, cooked things I never would have attempted without Roberta’s excellent videos, and used ingredients I have never tried before.

I'm a competent cook whose learned so much from Roberta's online cooking classes. The recipes are yummy and Roberta’s video guidance offers so many little tips to improve flavour and organise the flow of preparation. I enjoy her warmth, sense of humour, and ability to giggle at herself when she occasionally messes up.
