Fresh Basil

16 recipes 1 guide

Fresh basil brings a sweet, peppery aroma to sauces, salads, grilled vegetables, fruit, fish, and creamy dishes. Add it near the end or tear it over the finished dish so its fragrance stays bright; brief heat softens it, while prolonged cooking turns it dark and muted. The common mistake is treating it like a hardy dried herb.
