My basil is growing like a weed in my herb garden. At first, I planted herbs to see if I could get them to grow. Now, they are multiplying like crazy, and I need to find a use for them.
I clipped some of the basil back and put them in a small vase with water while I looked around the internet to get a few ideas.
To store my fresh basil I could do a few things I found here.
I like the idea of making pesto and freezing it for later. I found a few recipes here, here, and here.
I also found some great recipes on Pinterest that have my mouth watering. I think I will add a few to my next menu plan list.
- Chickpea and tomato salad with fresh basil.
- Lemon and fresh basil loaf.
- Tomato soup with fresh basil and cheesy pancakes.
- Citrus scented rice with fresh basil.
- Pasta with fresh tomatoes and basil.
I still have some rosemary and parsley growing, so I better start looking for some yummy ways to add them to my meals.
