Here is an easy appetizer & a tip:
I have besil growing in my herb garden and am always looking for ways to use it.

BASIL-CREAM CHEESE DIP is pungent with garlic.

Chop 3–4 basil leaves and 2 cloves garlic in a food processor. Add 8 ounces cream cheese, ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, ½ cup toasted walnuts or pine nuts. Blend thoroughly. Add olive oil a few drops at a time until creamy. Serve on crackers or thin-sliced breador veggies.

 

 

 

PRESERVING BASIL in the freezer is easy. Cut stems from leaves. Wash and dry two cups packed leaves. Chop with 2 tablespoons olive oil in a food processor. Freeze in ice cube trays and transfer to a heavy freezer bag until ready to use.
