Granola with Greek Yogurt, Blueberries and Rosemary Honey
Rolled oats combined with sesame oil and maple syrup bake into a crisp, crunchy granola. Feel free to use any combination of nuts and dried fruits that suit your taste or that of your guests. Make a double batch of the granola and use the extra to make Granola and Ricotta Cream Parfait (see related recipe at left), serve with milk, spoon over vanilla ice cream or enjoy as a satisfying snack. Greek yogurt is thicker and less tart than other commercial yogurts, but regular yogurt can also be used. Rosemary honey adds a subtle herbal taste and aroma, but any flavored honey can be used.
