How do I keep fresh basil ''fresh'' in the fridge
l do my grocery shopping weekly and between the time l buy the basil and
actually use it ( usually a few days later) it goes off. if l put in a
zip-lock bag and keep it in the vege/ fruit drawer it goes brown and
soggy. if l dont put it in a bag then it just dries in the drawer. Any
suggestions on how to keep it fresh for up to a week... thanks
/>ps: there is nothing wrong with the fridge, its only a year old.
Put the basil leaves in an ice cube tray with a leaf in each
cube, fill with water and the basil is frozen into the ice cube. Just pop
as many cubes as you need when your recipes call for Basil.
put it in water to root it, then plant it
just simply plant it in the small pot with fertile soil,that if
your basil got roots..hehehhehe and place it in a cool dry place.water it
ocationally..
wrap it in paper towel that was lightly dampend.Then in a
plastic bag. Keep the paper towel slightly moistened and it will keep
well. Too much to use? puree it with some lemon juice, olive oil,
parmesian cheese and pine nuts, until a paste then freeze in your ice cube
tray and after frozen , pop them out and store in your freezer! Use this
pesto to add to pasta, tomato soup, etc.
Try putting it in a coffee mug with some water. Some say to
add vinegar or lime to it.. but I find water by itself works good.
put it in water with a little vinegar
