Hint of the Day

Pesto freezes :)

And furthermore – you can substitute walnuts with the pine nuts and I can’t really notice the difference.

Yay! No more basil wastage ever! :)

    Hi Cathy!

    Another great way to use basil up is to make chilli basil chicken stirfry! This is the recipe I use from SBS food safari:

    Also, don’t forget, it’s winter soon (well, in Aust anyway!), and a huge batch of slow cooked spag bol with delicious fresh basil can be frozen in single serves, or even better still – in a handy lasagne! :)

    Oh, and one more thing – you just have to defrost it on your kitchen bench or counter until it’s soft again :)
