  crumbled dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

  In a blender, mix 2 tablespoons black pepper, fresh oregano and a
  half cup extra virgin olive oil until smooth and dark green. When
  ready to serve guests, toast bread on both sides over the grill.
  Spoon 2 tablespoons broccoli rabe over each piece of bread and
  drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper-oregano oil. Shave a piece
  of crotonese over with a peeler and serve still warm.
