This week Kalyn's Weekend Herb Blogging is turning into a traveling event. Ilva at Lucullian Delights is the first guest host doing the weekly recap. Thank you Ilva.

As many of you know, I live in the northern province of Germany Schleswig-Holstein. It's an agrarian country and now everywhere the rapeseed is blooming, it is also called the fifth season.


Also Wikipedia has a picture of rape-fields in Schleswig-Holstein.



Bees produce wonderful honey and you can use the oil in your kitchen or for your vehicle as biodiesel. My sons are fascinated that the seed is also used in pyrotechnic articles. It is said that rapeseed oil is healty because of its special fatty acids. I like the lightly nutty taste and use it often instead of olive oil.

I had some leftover sundried tomatoes. I soaked them in rapeseed oil from Schleswig-Holstein and duplicated these wonderful



The nutty taste of the rapeseed oil corresponds well with the tomatoes and olives.

Start by heating your oven to 200 °C and grease the muffin pan. In a
shallow bowl combine milk, olive oil and egg. Add flour, shredded
parmesan, basil, baking powder and salt and stir just until the
flour moistened. Do not stir too much or the result will be rubbery,
hard muffins. After adding chopped tomatoes and olives, stir once
more and fill the muffin cups. Sprinke with additional parmesan and
put in the preheated oven. It will take 18-20 mins to have amazingly
smelling hot small bread/muffins. Remove immediately from the pan
and leave to cool on wire rack. Bon apetito!

* Ulrike: I used rapeseed oil. I soaked my sundried tomatoes in
rapeseed oil.
