I have a bumper crop of basil so far this year. I wonder if fresh basil would be good in spinach? Have you ever tried poke salad? Try looking up the nutritional information on it, and you will really be amazed.
Do you make pesto?
When I used to batch preserve for pesto, I processed the pesto in the Cuisinart to a chopped paste. I Froze it in bags and when it was time for pesto I would process garlic then add oil, then pesto and parm. Tasted freshly made every time.
I also put up extra fresh basil in the freezer. I chiffonade chop it, and put it in a ziploc with enough olive oil to coat it all. Squeeze out any air. I don’t stuff the bags that full so when I want some I can break off a chunk. Great in pasta or any dish when you want fresh basil.
Yes, we have a big bunch of volunteer poke that comes up every year. I hate it, but hubby loves it. I’m sure it’s great nutrition though.
