The taste & smell of summer
Ahh.....basil! Fragrant, delicious and versatile, basil is a staple in the food of many cultures. Its fresh leaves pair well with  tomatoes for a simple caprese salad (right) and when plentiful they form the basis of Fresh Basil Pesto. Toss it, spread it, drizzle it; pesto can be used in lots of ways, as an accent or as the main attraction. A surprising way to let pesto shine is stirred  into rice, which soaks up the basil-garlic flavor and doesn't get in the way.
Next week's box will likely give you plenty of basil to have fun with.
