Edible parts

Aromatic leaves

Recipe idea for your fine green basil harvest. Prepare a herb butter to serve with hot vegetables. Let a small amount of butter soften, then stir in finely chopped fresh leaves. Remove the tough stems before mincing the foliage and start with a small amount to gauge the aromatic intensity. Add a little lemon zest and pepper; salt only if the butter is unsalted. Mix with a fork, place in a small ramekin, and refrigerate to firm up. Melt a small knob over hot potatoes, cooked corn, or roasted carrots just before serving. Adjust the amount of herbs according to the desired flavor: a small touch is often enough to start. The tender leaves should be chopped with a knife without being crushed for long. Prepare a small portion of flavored butter and keep it cold in a sealed container. For fine green basil, keep the identified bag to track cultivar-specific data throughout the season.
