Preserved Basil Recipes
PRESERVED BASIL
This came about when I had more fresh basil in my garden than I knew what to do with it. I posted a question to the Cooking Q&A board and with the help of Jenny Sanders, this recipe came about.

Number Of Ingredients 2
Steps:
- 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.

- Quickly blanch the basil. Prepare a bowl of ice water and set aside near your stove. Fill a small saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil. Drop the basil leaves in the boiling water and blanch for 5 to 10 seconds or until wilted. Using tongs, transfer the basil leaves to prepared ice water to stop cooking.
- Dry the basil very well. Pick up the basil leaves and wrap them in paper towel and squeeze to wring out all the water.
- Make the pesto. Place the basil, garlic, pine nuts, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade. With the processor running, slowly pour the extra virgin olive oil. Do not run the processor too long, you want to have a little bit of texture to your basil pesto.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Transfer the basil mixture to a small bowl. Add the Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix to combine. If needed add a little bit more extra virgin olive oil to mix.
