Chef's Note

  • This basil will not oxidize quickly due to the lack of acidity and the olive oil.Our vegan parmesan cheese recipe is a great substitution to create a non-dairy version.
  • For variations, try adding 1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes, pitted green olives, or 1/2 cup combined anchovies & capers.
