\nWho knows what a walk on a sunny Sunday afternoon will lead to? I needed  some fresh ingredients for Sunday dinner and decided to go to  the Market at Circus Maximus- known for local, organic and seasonal produce, dairy and freshly baked breads\u2026but a trip to the market in Rome is never just a trip to the market it is an experience through ancient Rome\u2026how could I get  through it , do my shopping and be home in time to cook dinner?
\nFirst, I had to make it through the Roman Forum, on a sunny day up high on one of Rome\u2019s seven hills, a breathtaking view, or a \u2018belvedere\u2019 (as we say in Italian), worthy of at least an hour stop..
\n\"roman<\/a>
\nNext pass through the back of Rome\u2019s Campidoglio  ( the official City Hall)..home of many things but also a piazza designed by Michelangelo..another hour\u2026
\nWho knew we would pass the Arch of Janus-one of Rome\u2019s ancient triumphal arches
\n\"arca<\/a>
\nThere goes another hour.. finally the market.. Mercato di Campagna D\u2019Amica di Circo Massimo..( imagine taking a trip through an art museum every day just to get to the market!)
\n\"front<\/a>
\n\"campagna<\/a>
\n\"campagna<\/a>
\n\"campagna<\/a>
\nAll organic, local and seasonal, here\u2019s where you can find locally made pecorino cheese, locally grown zucchini, agretti, farm fresh eggs and dairy, herbs , organic olive oil and wine, and freshly baked breads and sweets from organic ingredients..
\nSince it was already 3 PM and nothing on the table yet, we decided lunch would start with local bread and sliced pecorino produced in nearby Rieti
\n\"pecorino<\/a>
\nAnd then local organic zucchini, and some farm fresh eggs organic olive oil..a zucchini frittata.
\nWash and slice 3-4 zucchini into small sticks
\n\"fresh<\/a>
\nSaute in 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil till tender.
\nWhisk 4 farm fresh eggs together in a bowl, add in pinch of salt. Pour onto zucchini sticks. When firm on all sides flip onto plate,turn over and cook on opposite side till firm. Serve with dry white wine..we had  (nearby produced) Est!Est!Est!
\nDessert was the infamous Fragole con Limone (strawberries with lemon) sounds simple but the trick is to use fresh, local and in season strawberries, and   fresh, local, organic lemons\u2026
\n\"strawberries<\/a>
\nWash, hull and quarter 1 pound of strawberries. Place in ceramic bowl, squeeze one lemon on top, remove seeds. Sprinkle 2 tsps organic brown sugar or stevia on top, stir gently. Cover and let marinade in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
\nListen to my radio  interview about this Blog post on The Well Informed Traveler<\/a>
