A Sunday Walk to Circus Maximus Market<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Who knows what a walk on a sunny Sunday afternoon will lead to? I needed\u00a0 some fresh ingredients for Sunday dinner. I decided to go to\u00a0 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\u00a0 through it , do my shopping and be home in time to cook my easy organic zucchini frittata recipe?<\/p>\n

Going Through the Roman Forum<\/strong><\/h2>\n

First, 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\u00a0 ( the official City Hall)..home of many things but also a piazza designed by Michelangelo..another hour\u2026
\nWho knew I would pass the Arch of Janus-one of Rome\u2019s ancient triumphal arches
\n\"arca<\/a>
\nArrival at Mercato di Campagna D’Amica di Circo Massimo<\/strong>
\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, I decided lunch would start with local bread and sliced pecorino produced in nearby Rieti
\n\"pecorino<\/a>
\nEasy Organic Zucchini Frittata<\/strong>
\nAnd then local organic zucchini, and some farm fresh eggs organic olive oil..an easy organic 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\u00a0 (nearby produced) Est!Est!Est!
\nOrganic Strawberries for Dessert<\/strong>
\nDessert was the infamous Fragole con Limone (strawberries with lemon). This\u00a0 sounds simple but the trick is to use fresh, local and in season strawberries & 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.
