I'm normally a big fan of fresh over convenient. From time to time, I find something exciting that changes my mind, at least for a minute. Well friends, meet frozen basil.
Some herbs freeze brilliantly. Basil is one of them. Packed into tidy little cubes, frozen basil comes in handy from time to time. If you find yourself with not much in the cupboard but a jar of tomato sauce, you can open the freezer and pop one in for a little extra flavor.
This won't work if you're making a pesto sauce. You're not going to get the brightest fresh basil flavor from it. But, you're going to have another tool in your chest to rock your dinner with some excitement.
Sometimes it's nice to have an easy helper in the freezer.
