It's basil time in the garden. I love basil & tomatoes! They go together naturally like peanut butter & bananas. I like to finely chop the leaves, (chiffonade) & put them into ice cube trays, then slowly add water. When frozen I put the basil cubes in freezer bags. Then just plop a cube or 2 in sauce or soup. I think it's better then drying basil & it's easy!
We have tons of tomatoes too. I always plant yellow ones for my Dad & now I'm hooked on them too. A salad with fresh tomatoes & basil, a little chopped onion, coarse salt, olive oil & a splash of balsamic vinegar with feta cheese sprinkled on top is so good. That & some chicken breasts makes a great summer meal.
