Preserved Basil
Ingredients:
spices, basil, dried
oil, olive, salad or cooking
Directions:
Puree two cups of fresh packed basil leaves in the food processor.
Slowly add one half cup olive oil until the mixture has the consistency of a smooth paste.
Pour the puree into plastic ice cube trays.
It's best to have a special tray just for herbs, because the remaining flavor will then get into your ice cubes.
Cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until solid.
Store cubes, double-bagged, in the freezer and add to soups and sauces for an instant flavor boost.
Herbal pastes and pestos are highly concentrated, so use sparingly.
