What Are the Best Basil Recipes?
What are your favorites?
Earlier this summer I planted some kitchen herbs, including basil, cilantro, and mint. My basil has by far done the best and while I love looking at its lush leaves, I know that I need to eat all this basil up before it wilts away.
I decided to make a quick toasted caprese salad-inspired sandwich, which was super simple and delicious. To buttered bread, I just added Violife cheese, Tofurkey oven-roasted deli slices, finely cut basil, and, of course, some sliced tomatoes topped with flaky salt and garlic. I then toasted the sandwich (you can use a skillet or countertop grill to do this) and it was complete!
I also had to ask our Tenderly friends on Instagram what basil recipes they recommend, and at their suggestion I’m definitely going to try basil lemonade and this pea pesto next!
What are your favorite basil recipes I should try after that? Let us know in the comments!
