I simply freeze 1 cup or so in a quart sized freezer bag, and completely flatten it while letting all the air out before closing the bag. This way, the flat frozen disks don't take up any room in the freezer, and the best part is, you just snap off a piece when needed. The rest goes right back in the freezer! I like to snap off a piece and mix it with a little mayo,garlic,parmesan cheese,salt and pepper for a basil aioli to put on grilled chicken sandwiches.Laurennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115797471929453399.post-61808423618458567892009-08-19T21:59:50.351-04:002009-08-19T21:59:50.351-04:00Funny, when it comes to pesto, I mostly stick with...Funny, when it comes to pesto, I mostly stick with pine nuts, despite their expense. However, I have no problem combining other green herbs with the basil. In fact, I rarely use just basil, most often using about 2/3 basil and the remainder either flat-leaf parsley or arugula, the latter being my favorite.<br /><br />This recipe - http://nytimes.com/2008/08/06/dining/063mrex.html?ref=dining - is a perfect use of a pistou and zucchini. Perfect summer time food, either a small portion with a steak or alone as a main course.CB Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14889841458170110920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115797471929453399.post-19670803358561535072009-08-18T14:19:36.089-04:002009-08-18T14:19:36.089-04:00So strange, i just noticed I was booted off your f...So strange, i just noticed I was booted off your follow list and now it won't let me back on!
