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.
