Our Summer Herb: BASIL

BASIL is a distinctive Mediterranean herb, delicious with all tomato-based dishes and is most effective when fresh and added at the end when the dish is just cooked. The leaves should be torn rather than chopped with a knife. Holy Basil is used for Thai and Asian cooking. Sweet Basil is used for Mediterranean dishes. Dried basil is delicious sprinkled over pizzas, roasted vegetables and grilled fish.

Pesto is a dark green classic Italian sauce traditionally made from lots of basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. It is served with freshly cooked pasta; spread on chicken or fish before grilling or spread onto bruschetta as a starter dish.

Basil is useful as a calming aid for indigestion. The leaves and flowers of basil can be used for an infusion for the treatment of migraines, nervous tension, constipation and insomnia.
