Natural Basil Oil, Form : Liquid, Purity : 100 %

You’ll find many uses for Basil Oil! Made with the simplest of ingredients, in just a few minutes, you’ll have a flavorful condiment to elevate dishes you are already making.

Basil oil is one of those things that makes everything better. Drizzle it over avocado toast, or swirl it into soup, or top it over anything you want to add a pop of color and punch of flavor. It’s vegan and nut-free, unlike pesto.

In the olden days (our catering days) we would make a more complicated version of this which I’ll share in the recipe notes, but these days, out of laziness, I’ll just throw everything in the food processor and blend. Easy Peasy. I usually make a double batch to use on different things- like this week I’ve used it on our Grilled Broccolini with Buratta, and our Caprese Salad. It would also be good on baked eggs, caprese sandwiches, or even over halibut. A five-minute recipe with a huge payoff!

Ingredients in Basil Oil

Basil- well obviously, but if I’m low on basil, in a pinch I’ll supplement with flat-leaf parsley.

Extra Virgin olive oil – Use one that is not overly bitter, which, if you are sensitive to bitter, can throw off the flavor for you.

Fresh Garlic Clove– adds a little punch of flavor.

Lemon Juice– a hint of acidity is nice here, plus I feel like it helps keep it vibrant green.

Salt, Pepper and optional chili fl

akes.
