Basil

Dried basil is a very popular herb in Mediterranean cuisine. When dried, basil retains its characteristic aroma and flavor, although more concentrated. It is a practical and versatile option for cooking, as it has a longer shelf life and is available year-round.

Culinary uses:

• Sauces: An essential ingredient in tomato sauces, such as marinara sauce.

• Pasta and pizzas: Adds a distinctive flavor to pasta dishes and as a seasoning on pizzas.

• Stews and soups: Ideal for enriching stews, soups, and casseroles.

• Marinades and rubs: Perfect for marinating meats, fish, or vegetables.

Dried basil is an excellent choice for those looking to quickly and easily add an aromatic and flavorful touch to their dishes.
