Basil

What do do with a large bag of lovely basil? Too much to be eaten in one sitting. Suggestions please…

Pesto.

Food process 100g basil leaves, 8 tbspn olive oil, 3 tbspn pine nuts, 2 cloves finely chopped garlic, pinch of salt.

You can freeze at this point

Or stir in by hand (don’t whiz) 50g cheese, 45g soft butter to finish.

I wish I had a big bag of basil!
