2 c Basil leaves -- stemmed;
Washed and spread to dry on
A towel
2 tb Salt
1/2 c Olive oil
Put a layer of basil leaves in a jar, sprinkle with
salt, and continue to make layers of basil and salt
until the jar is three quarters full. Fill the jar
with olive oil, then seal it and store in a cupboard.
The basil will be ready to use after a month.
Basil preserved this way may be used wherever you
would be using salt and oil as well as basil: in
salads, for instance, or sweated with the vegetables
for soups and stews.
