Sweet Basil

Intensely aromatic, with pepper, anise, and mint running underneath a flavor that lands sweet and savory at once. Dried basil is a different tool than fresh: it holds up to long simmering where fresh basil fades.

Ingredients: Basil.

Try it in: tomato sauce, soups, pizza, vinaigrettes, roasted vegetables, and chicken. Add it early so it has time to soften and open up.
