1 cup canola or olive oil
2 cups fresh basil
Makes 1 About Cup
Purée basil with oil in a blender or food processor. Cook the puree over low heat for about five minutes -- you don't want to cook the oil, you're just allowing the heat to release the basil's flavors. Strain the oil into a clean jar. The oil will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks.
This is good in so many things ...sauces,soups,over sliced tomatoes ...lightly drizzled, vinegar and oil dressing etc ...
