Ingredients
- Dill
- cilantro
- fresh basil
- fresh Rosemary
- parsley
- dried thyme
- olive oil for cut herbs
Instructions
Cut Herbs in Olive Oil
- Rinse the herbs, pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Chop the herbs, and place them into an ice cube tray
- Pour olive oil to cover the herb and fill up the ice cube.
- Place the ice cube tray into the freezer. Once solid, remove the herb cubes from the tray and store in a ziploc bag for up to 6 months.
- To use, simply add the amount of herbs required by a recipe straight to a skillet or thaw first if adding to a cold dish, like a pasta salad.
Herbs On stem Without Olive Oil
- Rinse the herbs, pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Place herbs in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in the freezer. Once frozen, transfer the herbs into an airtight container or freezer-safe ziploc bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible.
- To use, simply remove the herbs one sprig at a time and add to recipes.
Notes
- Storage: Store the frozen herbs in the freezer for up to 6 months and use as desired in recipes without thawing.
