Sam Cooper on Instagram: "Level-up your cooking with homemade basil salt.

It’s time to clear the old basil plants from the polytunnel to make room for some undercover winter crops. Which means it’s time to preserve basil for the rest of the year! 

Recipe:

100g basil 🌿 
200g natural sea salt 🧂 

1. Rinse and dry basil.

2. Pick the best leaves and blossom and remove the stems (these can be reserved to make basil oil).

3. I use a pestle and mortar as it doesn’t generate heat and the crushing motion is better for extracting aromatic oils from the herbs. But it takes a while, so feel free to use a food processor but make sure it doesn’t get too hot.

4. Add a bit more salt for texture if you want.

5. Lay out by an open window for 24 hours to dry before storing in an airtight container O Basil Leaves Recipe, Preserving Basil, Dry Basil, Basil Salt, Basil Herb, Pestle And Mortar, An Open Window, Basil Oil, Winter Crops

Patrick Vernuccio on Instagram: "How do you harvest your Basil? 🌱 Here is how to harvest it correctly so that it regrows 💚  Harvesting your Basil leaf by leaf will prevent your Basil from regrowing new leaves…that’s a pity!  Because out of one plant, if you cut correctly above a set of leaves, it will create two new stems growing lots of new leaves. Repeat the process over and over again and you will obtain a bushy Basil plant growing leaves on many new stems!  So to harvest, always cut right above a set of small leaves, and do not forget to eat the stems, there are full of flavour too!
