Frozen Basil Cubes

The most efficient and versatile way to freeze basil is by making basil cubes. You can toss them into soups at the last-minute for some fresh flavor.

• Basil leaves, washed
• olive oil

Add basil to the food processor or chop with a knife and add enough oil to coat the leaves to make a thick paste. Spoon the mixture into ice cube trays, freeze, and when frozen pop them out and transfer to well-sealed freezer bags.
