Introduction
Now that fresh basil is available year-round, I use this sauce all the time. Try it on salads, on eggs, on cooked vegetables, and over grilled fish. Regular lemons can also be used.
Ingredients
| 10 | large fresh basil leaves (about 1 cup loosely packed) |
| ~ | Zest and juice of 2 lemons, preferably Meyer |
| ½ | cup fruity extra virgin olive oil |
| 1 | Tbsp. maple syrup |
Steps
- Combine the basil, lemon zest and juice, oil, and maple syrup in a blender. Puree and transfer to a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Keeps in the refrigerator for about 7-10 days.
