Categories : Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -- -- --

1 bn Basil, washed, stemmed

3/4 c Oil, olive

Puree the basil with 1/2 cup of olive oil. Cover

with a bit of olive oil and refrigerate for up to two

weeks if desired. (The length of time the basil is in

oil helps to diffuse the flavor into the oil. On the

other hand, after two weeks, the fresh basil begins to

lose its bouquet, and taste to natural spoilage.

Discard after 6 weeks and start fresh.
